Some of you know that I am the eternal villain when it comes to playing "guys" with Hunter. If you remember this post you may recall that the child WILL NOT let me be the good guy....ever. Well, I had a bit of a triumph yesterday. We have a bunch of Schleich animals that they boys play with in the bath tub (they are definitely not bath toys, but ya know, it works). Anyway, we decided to incorporate them into our playtime yesterday and the result was that I finally got to be a good guy! Meet Super Rhino and Super Horse (I take what I can get!). True he wasn't about to let me be Batman or Robin (not even the side kick! Lame), but he was totally fine with me being a superhero if it was an animal. So I cut out some capes for my superheros and these two totally saved the day. It was a big moment for me (now you know my deepest hopes and aspirations.) 
This kid is such a hoot and he has the best imagination. I think I sat and laughed for most of our little adventure yesterday as it was totally random and funny.
Batman got a new mode of transportation, the cow was also a super hero by the end yesterday. Come on, Batman cannot ride a cow that doesn't fly.
And this guy was the bad guy yesterday (yep, still played by me), but he and his horse were truly evil, so it wasn't so bad when they were conquered (by being beat up over and over by Batman...bruised hands I tell you).
I didn't get a picture of the other villain. McKay was constantly coming in and grabbing all the toys and hucking them across the room. It was actually hilarious! We had to set up a hospital where the characters would go to have their wounds healed by "the force" (thank goodness for the team of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin). I am sure you are all thinking I am such a nerd right now...I totally am.One of my goals is to really be friends with my kids. I have realized as Josh gets busier that they are 90% of my social circle and I don't want to ever resent that. That is the way it is and it is the life that I have chosen. I want to enjoy all the moments that I have with them and go to bed each night feeling satisfied and fulfilled. I will always remember the funny, silly times I have with these kids. Some times it is a total struggle to find my "inner child", especially when I have things to do or projects I want to be doing. But I am always glad when I take some time to be with the boys.

Em, I don't think you are a nerd at all!!! I think it's great that you got to play with your boys! I need to be better at bringing my "inner child" out more. We goof off a lot but I rarely get down and "play" with them like that! I think it's great!!!
