Boy games


I have a brother, and we used to play wild and stuff, but I am a girly girl. I always imagined that someday I would have a daughter and I could fill her room with pink things and a million little Barbie shoes. But God had another plan and here I sit with my three boys. Right now they are playing with, in age order:

a) The six year old has a shield

b) The four year old has a bazooka

c) The 20 month old has a red light saber.

They have been fighting their battle in every room of the house. It's actually quite funny to see Nathan getting a piece of the action...he wields a saber with finesse beyond his year. I don't naturally fit into this kind of scheme, I have to work at it. However, roughness comes naturally to boys, I am absolutely sure it is in their DNA. Even Nathan, who can barely talk, knows how to make the sound of an explosion. I am working hard to become what I need to be to parent these ruffians.
