Sooooo...My boys like to play dress up! I'm not ashamed to say it. They are constantly coming up with a new way to wear a bandana, finding the halloween costumes, sporting their cowboy hats and boots or shoving pretend swords and guns throught the belt loops on their pants. The best story is Camden waking up and pulling a 2 foot toy sword out of his pajama bottoms. He slept with it there.
Oh yeah, and Cam has also been wearing a tux vest around for DAYS thinking he looks so cool. I'm lucky if I can get him to wear a regular shirt longer than two minutes.
Now I don't have a problem with pretend... as long as thats all it is, but I think I am starting to get a complex. When my kids are playing pretend together and I start walking up the stairs or coming in the room I hear, "oh no run, it's the wicked witch!" or "Watch out it's the mean queen" or "Aaaahhh it's the Ugly step mother"! I just wonder why I'm never the beautiful princess. I would even take the fat fairy godmother. WHATEVER!

i'm always "the monster". nice. do you think someday these boys will appreciate us???? oh well...at least they're good for a good laugh once in a while :) Tell me the secret to getting a girl on try #4....i'm not even going to start to try until i've done all my research...
That is hilarious! I was seriously laughing as I read this and had to read it to Jeff because he was asking me what was so funny. I think I would have a complex, too, although I wouldn't be surprised. (I can be a little short with Max sometimes, which is my big struggle right now.) I love that they like to dress up. I'm thinking I need to start stocking up on dress up clothes because I think pretend games are the best.
ohh man! I wonder what they would call me if I came over to your house... I don't even want to think!
My girls just want to be the mom all the time so my job is always taken over and when they call mom and I answer they tell me that Sophie is the mom right now and not to answer anymore...whatever....funny stuff! I love the costumes!
My kids love to dress up too. Ethan's favorite is Spiderman, but occasionally he shows up as Buzz Lightyear or Bob the Builder. Oh... actually, he is always Peter Parker, then he dresses up as the others!
so funny, my kids do the same thing! THe vest is a funny one though! I forgot to tell you how much I think you look so much like you mom! I never realized, that is a compliment, you are beautiful!
How cute. Haley and Will play dress-up together, too. Will doesn't mind being the 'prince' as long as he can wear a cape (he prefers super heroes to princes). I hope I can give him a brother someday to be his sidekick.
