Boys Will Be Boys

After all of the fuss over Nathanael coming home subsided, Levi and I needed some time to just be boys.


During Levi's "quite time" it was really hot and I did not want to send him outside so we decided to try letting him be creative with a set of train tracks. He has never really played with them alone so I was not really sure how or what he was going to do, but after a few minutes he figured it out and made this track...of course by the time he finished it he must have squeezed all of the creative juices out of his brain because he did not even take the time to run the train set through the tracks before cleaning it all up.The picture above is about all that he did: move the trains back and forth through that bridge a few times and then he was done.



Later that afternoon when it was still hot but starting to cool off, the girls went inside to start on supper and the boys...yes, all four of us: Levi, Daniel, Nathanael, and myself...decided to make a bow and arrow out of some cedar that we found earlier this weekend. We finished making it just as supper was called so we had to wait until just before bedtime to shoot it. Levi got it to shoot a little more than 20 feet! He was fairly proud of himself.

Enjoy!

Hmmm... looks more like an architect's railroad than an engineer's railroad!
