All in a Day's Play

Kids can be so imaginative, can't they? There is no telling where their imaginations are going to take them. Here are some random pictures of my kids being kids!

Here the foursome is playing "house" and are all having nap time on their "beds" at the top of the stairs.

Troy had read about trapping animals, so.....Paige got to be the guinea pig (or bear or lion...). I had to outlaw this particular game rather quickly. Notice the links attached to the top of the crate? Trent was on the stairs above holding the other end of those links. He thought it was great fun to "trap" unfortunate souls who walked below him. Not a good idea!

Ah, yes - the horse-drawn carriage.

I really have no idea why they strapped themselves into the back of Jim's truck, but they were having a lot of fun doing it!

We have had lots of rain and thunderstorms this year. The kids decided to build a fort to protect themselves from hail and tornadoes. They had a blast playing in it and even more fun making noise like a hailstorm.

The boys are really into knights and dragons right now (which goes along nicely with the girls being into Sleeping Beauty). Here is their portrayal of a knight riding his trusty steed off to battle a ferocious fire-breathing dragon (otherwise known as the couch cushion in the foreground).

This is the boys rendition of bull riding. We are in Texas, ya know!

Not to be outdone, Paige decided to try some bucking of her own.

It has been a lot of fun watching their imaginations come alive. I can't wait to see what they will do next!
