Before the gutting (that is really starting to sound like "before Christ") we had to empty all the furniture out of the min level. It left it wide open for the boys' imaginations. They decided to go to college. (I had to drive the bus.) They used the couch cushions for their beds and packed small bags of items they would need to go to school.
The college of choice was Drake. Sam played football and Jack was a "runner" or went out for track. We had to stop the bus one time so Jack could practice his in-place running. Sam pulled his hat down over his eyes and slept the entire trip.
After some workouts and equipment hand-outs (Jack ran in circles and Sam got his helmet and shoulder pads from upstairs) they decided it was time to go to a college party. They changed into their nice clothes and headed out. But not before a picture by the goal post. I told them to be responsible at their party and no drinking. Sam, of course, told me not to worry. As they were going to the basement (to meet friends to play cards) Sam told Jack, "Well, it looks like we will have to stick to root beer and Roy Rogers tonight!"
The entire thing lasted about an hour and was SO funny to watch!!!

Gosh, if I had played this game at our house, maybe the transition to college would have gone easier! lol
ReplyDeleteSeriously, the boys are so lucky to have such a great mom! :)
