Sleeping children and those in a live well


Sleeping children.  You can see some fish to the side of Duke.  They both bring a million toys to bed and have an amazing memory in the morning.  They know which 5 sharks they fell asleep holding.  We send out a search party each morning.

They boys often use boxes for a "live well" to store the fish they catch.  They both had to get inside to see the fish more closely.  They played together so well for quite a while.  I have a "star chart" and I did mention they would get a sticker for playing nicely.  The chart has a picture of a bunch of fishing lures.  Great incentive.  


Standing in the live well didn't work so well as they both toppled out laughing soon after I clicked this picture.  They are getting so close in size these days.  I have such trouble figuring out which pants go to which boy.  They are either dragging on Duke or capri pants on Kincaid.  No win.  I can't wait until summer and no more of that trouble!

Yet another toy scene that cracked me up this morning.  There is a hole in the whale (supposed to be used for a faucet cover) and the guy has his legs inside.  I asked Duke if it was Bear Grylls, but he said, "No, it is Gepetto." (from pinocchio)  Silly boy.  I need to write a book and use toys for the pictures or maybe write a story to go along with all the fantastic toy scenes the boys create.

Their imaginations are wild. No wonder life is always so interesting.
