Boys and their Toys

C loves to set up action figures and play sets. Lately, he is very fond of reenacting battles with his toy soldiers, and he loves it when I play with him. I do, of course, but I am horrible at playing soldiers. He doesn't like my noises or even where I put the guys, and he is sure to let me know that Daddy is much better at playing soldiers. That's okay, I still play and he still seems to enjoy my company.

This is so cute!! We have this same play mat with one of our dinosaur sets!! My oldest son is quick to tell me when he'd like me to leave him alone for his playtime too! Funny isn't it:-)!!

I just wrote a post about that on MBC in the Moms of Boys group. We may not play as well but we can have just as much fun. I have the coolest superhero

So funny! I've been informed many times that I don't play as well as Daddy too. But I've been told that I read and tell stories better than Daddy, so at least that's something! :)

We have that same set...

Evan is my ultimate action hero guy, but they all love the setting up and knocking down process.

Isn't that amazingly true? It must be genetic because my boys can make the most amazing car and truck noises, and don't forget the explosions.
We're having a blast getting our stuff ready for the swap.
I'm about to put a post up with an award for you girl.

That's so funny! I get some of that too... but in our case it involves breakfast food. Mark's the waffle parent. ;-)
