Imagination At Its Finest.

Today, Jackson and Noah were playing together for a really long time. It's unusual for them to spend an afternoon together and not hear them fighting, so I asked them what they were playing. Jackson said he was a super agent from the future that fights crime. Notice the light sabers and other futuristic accessories. He said that he built a time machine and when he needs reenforcements for a particularly bad criminal, he goes back in time to the Old West and brings Noah the cowboy back into the future to help him. They went on and on about their equipment etc. Noah told me all about his 'home on the range' and all his 'pardners'. He carries dynamite on his horse just in case and he grows cactus in his yard. Every once in a while an owl comes and sits on his cactus and he has to go out and pull 'em loose. I love little boys imaginations. They think of things no one but a little boy would come up with!

Silly silly boys!!! Since we will have the Brown boys this weekend, I hope they can play all afternoon without fighting. Maybe I'll have to suggest that game!

We kinda had an all girl family, which worked out pretty great, but isn't it fun to see what makes boys tick? Man there's a lot to learn. My mom is making me read Bringing Up Boys by Dobson. Has anyone read it?

yes. I've read it. And it was good to read coming from an all girl family and not knowing that boys are that way for a reason. So, now I'm not disappointed when they wont sit still and color or dont build a nice little town out of Legos instead of a warship that destroys everything in sight. They aren't made that way!!!You should also read Wild At Heart by John Eldredge if you haven't already. That one talks about your husband...good stuff!
