day in & day out

Day in and day out they're just boys with wild imaginations making me laugh and smile.....
We're explorers who can't stand on the tile because it's the "sticky icky mud tile". But, it appears safe for mom because she is deemed official piggyback ride giver so others can cross it safely. I am so honored.
We're deep sea divers the moment we wake up swimming from room to room because our house is a great big ocean. Watch out for SHARKS (that'd by Wyatt of course)!
We wear sunglasses for goggles and laundry baskets on our head as rocket ships and fly to the moon while playing space wars.
We're paleontologists digging around in the dirt in the backyard looking for old dinosaur bones. Don't worry, Dax uses that word and chimes in to remind me who we are because I can never for the life of me remember that word.
We're (Wyatt and me) robots getting blasted by Ice Man (Dax) stopping us from moving until we get unfrozen, also by Ice Man (which entails a punch in the arm). Thanks.
We're Shanghai knights perfecting our moves....sometimes too perfectly.
We sit on blankets for our magic carpets and imagine flying around the Cave of Wonders.
We're mobile pet shop owners and sell animal pets from the back of our Crazy Coupe cars. Anyone want a giraffe? Because we sell those.
We're pirates sailing to a desert island from the platform of our play set. We're loud pirates too...sorry to our neighbors.
We're chefs that bake the best ever banana cake in the entire world using every plastic tupperware and wooden spoon in the house (leaving their mom to clean up the mess). How very sweet, but it sure is good!
We're at a theme park riding on a "miracle ground" which in 4 year old language is a merry-go-round. No worries, I don't correct him. It's too cute.
We're mountain climbers who carefully wait at the bottom of the bunk beds for the rock slides to pass (aka pillows being thrown off the top bunk) before we continue our ascend. Pheww. They are always close calls.
Like I said... WILD! And I am so so grateful.

I love the punch in the arm unfreeze comment. Hilarious. I will have to refer back to this post when I have two little boys needing some good imaginary fun, because right now, all I know how to do is play "princess" and polly's.

How fun to have two boys! I am usually the wicked step mother or cranky troll. This makes me wish for a little brother for Brett! YOU ARE THE BEST MOM EVER!
