An Epic Battle

After weeks of snow and bitter cold, there are days where I really just want to open the door and tell the kids to get outside.

Run.

Jump.

Play.

Whatever.

Just. get. out. side.

Reesie has been going outside to practice tee ball (her sport of choice this spring).  Wyatt and Hudson have just been running.  And today (after a Phantom Menace viewing last night. And another this morning.), they decided to have a light saber duel.  They're both Jedi Training Academy graduates, so this really could have gone either way.

 Reese is good on defense.

 But Wyatt has a more aggressive, "take no prisoners" mentality.

 Usually.

But Reese also takes breaks to smile.  Who smiles during a light saber battle?

The answer is Reese.  Reese stops to smile. And drops her light saber.  

Wyatt wins.

We'll have to see what happens with the rematch.  They're also really into sprinting races across the backyard.  Basically, if it involves competing with each other, these two are ready.  And it makes for some real happy days, let me tell ya.
