What boys do for fun!

The boys found some old army men in their room.  During Spring Break last week, they used their bb guns to remove the arms, feet and heads off of said army men.  I don’t know why.  I don’t try to understand the madness all the time.  Sometimes, I just go with the flow.  Then today, the madness made sense.  The pyro in the boys was wanting to be released.  I was cleaning the kitchen and Josh came and asked for a lighter.  Once he retrieved said lighter, he started for his room.  Once I saw him heading for the room, the warning lights went off in my head.  He explained what they were planning to do, and I promptly told him to take it outside.  No burning down of the house tonight, thank you!  :) 

 Once the boys were outside re-attaching body parts of different men to make “original” people, the girls decided they were being left out.  Elaina was all into helping them.  Unfortunately for her, that wasn’t an option.  No need for her to learn how to work a lighter.  That’s the one thing I know I don’t have to worry about her doing… yet!  The boys and Elaina had a great time. 

They were able to let their creative juices flow, and I had the house to myself for a while.   No kids bothering me with “I’m hungry”, or “she is singing”, or “He is looking at me again”.    Just the sound of laughing coming from out front.  Ahhh.  Sunday evenings are great at the Roberts house!
