We Love to Pretend

Whenever there is a rainy day at our house Elliott wants to "make a fortress out of blankets" (from the book, "If You Give a Pig a Party").  This time we were pretending our fort was a police station and we were police officers.  I thought we needed some uniforms to go with the theme.  Elliott wore a police shirt (one of Greg's blue shirts) and Oliver decided to be a fireman and wore a fireman jacket - it didn't stay on very long.  I also found a pattern on line for a police hat.  The boys colored them, I cut them out and we all helped glue.  Oliver's hat lasted about 2 minutes before it was torn into pieces.  Elliott was happy to wear his!

 A favorite activity of ours is pretending to be super heroes!  On this day Elliott was Super Man, Oliver was Super Boy and I was Super Woman!
