Boys need their Fathers

The other day my husband and my sons were outside playing. The boys were having more fun than usual so I was very interested in what was going on. As I watched I realized that I would NEVER have thought to play this game. Then even if the boys thought of playing this game I would not have enjoyed playing along and would have probably suggested that I watch while they play. Here's what they were doing, it started with guys and blocks, they were going to build a fort with the blocks and then play with the guys. Ok, nothing unusual. Soon they were savaging through the toy room looking for blocks that were just the right size to be the bombs. I thought, "silly boys." A few min. later my curiosity was peaked and I looked outside. They had set up the guys on the bigger blocks. They drew a line in sidewalk chalk. The object, was to stand behind the line and throw "bombs" at the guys to try to take them out. Completely lost on me as a girl but they had a blast. Boys need their fathers. Here's a few pictures. It appears even baby Jack Jack was not spared, but Zurg and Darth Vader are still standing!

That's too cute! My kids have so much fun with their dad, too.

How creative was Dad! I can't say that I would have ever thought of that, but you wouldn't believe the things I could come up with for Barbie dolls! I need a girl too...

Oh, how fun! Your hubby and mine are similar in many ways... I think my boys are SO blessed to have Jeff as their daddy!

This is why I sometimes feel bad for Matthew... BUT... when we go visit Papaw these are the kids of games they play... and who knew that rolling golf balls down planks of boards in the driveway would be so much fun? (As long as they don't hit my car!)

That is really sweet! I know that even Little Princess plays in ways with Prince Charming that she doesn't play with me.
