on guard!

it's all about fighting and protecting around here since christmas came. isaiah got a plethora of swords and even a whole knight suit. alaythia got princess dresses, jewelry and crowns. at any given moment someone is fighting or being protected.

one day i came out to the living room to find that isaiah had made himself a worthy opponent.



today, i wanted a turn with the swords. i took isaiah on, then said that i wanted a turn with daddy. the kids, having never witnessed this before, all got on the couch together and watched as we took the swords in hand. i quoted the princess bride, 'hello! my name is inigo montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die!' when we were done, we turned to see how the kids were responding to it. this is how we found sophia:



luckily the camera was right beside us and matt was able to snap a picture before she stopped the pose.

I think I can read her expression: amusement with a slight touch of disapproval at the violence.

I'm not surprised you wanted a turn with the sword. Do you remember playing with those big nerf guns with Jamey? You were the coolest babysitter and you're a totally cool mom, too!
