Sunday afternoon Ben came to spend sometime with Alec and I so the adults (sans me) could go see Hunger Games. I kind of refused to go. I haven’t read the books yet and I just don’t want to ruin them by watching the movie. Books are always better. The ironic part is that I have steadfastly refused to read them (kids killing kids oh my!) so who really cares if I ruin them?! But I held firm and played with the boys instead.
We did some coloring.. they were making a book. Alec was gluing the pages together and Ben was drawing whatever Alec directed him to do. Alec had his bossy pants on. That is one pair of pants I can not wait for him to outgrow! They never did finish the book so I am not sue what it was about.
We played swords quite a bit but then I got ‘hurt’ and forced to myself to lay on the couch for a while. :) They got out the doctor stuff and helped me get better. I had ticks in my hair (about 20), a broken leg, they were able to see my insides with the binoculars and saw that I was the old lady who swallowed a fly (cute kids huh?) and had some broken ribs that magically healed with the SuperWhy wand. Phew!
After I was up and about again we pulled out the blocks. I knew it was a stretch with these two to sit quietly playing with blocks but after a few minutes they settled in for a while.
Below is Alec’s building of Deepwater Horizon (the oil rig)- he made this so when he knocked it down it would be like the oil rig was exploding.
Ben was building and I will directly quote him here “something I like”.
After that- it was controlled ciaos again. They spent the remainder of the time chasing each other around with swords.
They are busy boys! :)
