I am always blown away with what my kids can come up with when they have a little time on their hands. Today they had lots and they blew me away as usual. Most of us want to stay inside when it is this cold...Not Evan and Mackenzie. They really are 2 peas in a pod. It was decided early on that after their chores were done they were headed out. Little did I realize how serious this was. It started with a pile of gear, everything from airsoft guns, bb's, backpacks, a shelving unit from the garage, a carpet, goggles & full blown masks and walkie talkies. I think the only thing they forgot was food & water. What in the world... Evan made an announcement what was going to take place and only Kenzie was up for it (as usual) So Evan preceded to tell the other girls that they "would die alone" because a man evidently wants someone who plays war in the freezing cold. Brandi and KK just watched as it unfolded in the backyard saying "REALLY, they built forts" your kidding me. No, it wasn't a joke! They were out there forever....and of course when they came in Mackenzie had the best story about how she scared Evan to death (which he denied) by hiding in the window well after concealing her footprints and climbing over garbage cans so he would loose her tracks. It was so so funny...they had a great time and I am sure have plans for another showdown if we have another snowday tomorrow.
