Hanging upside down

Morgan's newest adventure was with a belt instead of a bungee cord.  He hooked the belt around the clothes bar in his closet and then somehow (don't ask me how) tied it around both of his feet and hung himself upside down.  Luckily the belt didn't actually break in half until he was back right side up and hanging from it with his hands.  He brought me the leather belt, broken cleanly in half and asked me if I would fix it so he could hang upside down again.

Garden hose

My brother reminded me of the garden hose.  I do not have any significant stories about the garden hose, but it is definitely one of his favorite toys.  He loved to turn it on and soak all of his siblings and occasionally one of his parents.  we finally just took the handles off the hose bib and hide them from him.  He does, however, know how to turn the automatic sprinklers on and will soak us all doing that.

Night time wanderings

Sometimes Morgan has trouble sleeping, due to a medication that he is on.  Because of this we have to lock his bedroom door at night.  I will share a few events so you will not question this practice. 
One night my husband let Morgan out to go to the bathroom and forgot to lock the door again.  About an hour later I heard a huge bang, so I went running to see what was going on (about 3:30 in the morning).  Morgan had gotten the kitchen timer and a screw driver and taken them to his room.  He told me that he was using the timer to see how fast he could take the screws out of the hinges on his bedroom door. 
Another night, when we had locked his door, but did not lock the back door of the house he got up, climbed out of his bedroom window and went in the back door.  He decided get himself a snack and was raiding the candy cupboard when I caught him red handed.  He likes to go in the garage and play with tools, get into the medicine cupboard and sneak cough drops and many other night time activities.  I  am sure that he has done many other such things that I am not aware of, so for his safety, and ours, he remains locked in at night.
