As Heath was driving up after work, the boys flew through the kitchen yelling, "Don't tell Papa we're here!"
In an attempt to fuel their game, I told Heath that an alien space ship landed on the front lawn this afternoon and the boys decided to go for a ride. They were due back any time.
At the dinner table a bit later, Heath asked them how the space ship ride was. Judah couldn't handle the pretend and said, "We weren't in an alien space ship." To which Asher responded without hesitation:
"In FACT, Judah and me ARE aliens!"
----------------------------------
After dinner Heath and I have the habit of sitting on the floor against the wall while the kids run around, show us their crazy moves, and go wild. Tonight, Asher brought out a squirt gun. At some point, I decided to squirt Judah as he ran by. BAD idea!! Within moments, we were all in a full fledged water fight in the house!!! AHHHHHH!
In the insanity of getting soaked by water guns, Asher comes walking out of the bathroom with a bowl full of water. I said, "Don't you pour that on me!"
He calmly answered, "Drink this. . . . . and then you'll DIE!"
Asher and his wild imagination! We are all content to squirt good ol' water guns while Asher (aka Calvin as in Calvin and Hobbes) decides that squirt guns are too boring. Why not poison our enemy with a bowl of water!!! This moment of laughter made the water fight worth it!

This morning 15 minutes before I had to drop Antonie off at school he and Vincent John raided the grocery cupboard resulting in me having to re-dress both of them. In the afternoon I put both of them down for bed, but not Mr Antonie, no no no no no. He got into the vicks and vicked and talked the ENTIRE boys bedroom... Sigh... When I complained to Frederik, he looked at me and asked: Where were you when all this happened.
Emie, I love how you see the gifts in your kids of imagination, humor and playfulness as attributes, to be enjoyed and laughed at and delighted in...not frustrated or annoyed by!
