play time

The boys are "peacefully" playing outside, as I sit and type and watch them interact. Like always they are making up fighting, killing, defending games. Games in which each participant needs a weapon. I hear them say things like, "Caleb, pretend that we have to protect the castle from evil predators." and, "What are you doing master?" Gid tries to join in, but he is tolerated more than he is included. They are having fun pretending, and I am having fun watching them play.
