You know its time to get out when...

Tonight I was laying on the couch when I noticed the girls playing. Its not the fact that they were playing that made me laugh, it was WHAT they were playing. They got three new dolls, and a pooping dog for Christmas. Were they playing with these? NOPE. Our girls were playing war - with a sock over their hand as their "gun" and "searching" rooms for the enemy. But that wasn't even the good part. A few minutes later I caught them playing Drill Sgt. Sam was the Sgt and Hailey was the soldier. The game was complete with push ups, running around the living room and over head arm flaps. Hailey was a good soldier as she stood at parade rest when talking and followed commands precisely. Sam was full of promises of extra duty and PT if her commands were not followed. It was hilarious!!!! You know its time to get out of the Army when your kids would rather play Army than Barbie!!!

They should have a playdate with Ave and AK because they also love playing "fight the bad guys". Uncle Jordan has taught them so much!

A couple of days before Christmas, Emma was playing "drums" with knitting needles and boxes. We should have just wrapped those up & put them under the tree and returned the other toys. She would have been just as happy.
