Boys are so much fun!

Today I decided to read “St George and the Dragon” to the boys. We decided to use ‘guys’ (NEVER called dolls in our testosterone heavy house) to recreate the story. We are fortunate in that we posess a dragon – who’s eyes glow red at the touch of a button but sadly does not breath fire. Much discussion followed about how one might cause the dragon to breath fire, however mom stepped in and the decision was made that we would excercise our imaginations instead! Darth Vader was cast as St George cause “he’s got a sword (lightsaber) and he’s cool looking”. Since we do not have girl dolls….er, ‘guys’….Princess Una was played by a flower recently won at the Yolo County fair and since dubbed “lovely”. Last, a lego castle was constructed for the dragon to attack and St George/Darth Vader to protect.

What fun! And, the boys never knew that they learned some things!! Mommies love being sneaky that way!!
