The Queen and Her Servant

Sydney & Ethan spend quite a bit of time playing outside, and it is always so much fun to see the fun things they come up with to do. Like most all kids their ages, they have vivid imaginations, and they rarely just play on the swing set; they will turn even that into some kind of journey they are taking. They are always making up games or scenarios.

One thing they did last week is pictured below. Sydney was the queen on her throne (a stack of plastic outdoors chairs), and her footstool was a wooden crate that we will use to collect our veggies from the garden. Ethan was the servant who had to keep her cool by using a piece of bamboo to turn the fan. In the third picture you can see a plant stand, and he had all kinds of string tied on it. This was the cookstove where he prepared her meals.

Isn't spring time glorious?!! I love seeing the kids play outside, too. Our kids are into playing "Narnia" these days... Seeing their imaginations at work is such a blessing and reminder that we have a Creative God.
Sydney's got the right idea!!!! What a sweetie Ethan is, to so willingly serve his sister...I love it!!
