The Games Boys Play

I've been collecting some pictures of the various games and activities that my boys (young and old) have been playing around the house lately.


After our trip to the pumpkin farm on the 26th, I found the boys building forts with daddy in the living room. It looked like so much fun, I had to climb in too! Here is the top view of the fort that daddy helped them make on the couch with the help of one dining room chair.
Daddy and Bray in the fort. Logan was having a rest on the carpet. The fort was bascially a square tunnel built around the big leather ottoman that we have in front of the couch.
I spotted Aiden under another section of the tunnel making roof adjustments.
Logan climbed up on top and I'm afraid to say that this was the beginning of the end. He got very excited to show me everything and ended up knocking the whole thing down. After that, the big boys decided that it was more fun to jump on top of the fort than to rebuild it. Daddy tried to fix it all a few times....and then wisely gave up.


On the first day of "daylight savings time", daddy had a Bear's game so I was left at home with some overtired little boys. They wanted to play outside and of course I said it was fine...gotta get out there and enjoy the warmer weather before it disappears (which it definitely did this weekend!) I went in to check on Brady and returned a few minutes later to see this game that Logan and Aiden had invented for themselves. It basically involves taking turns knocking each other off of the slide. I remember thinking....only boys would play this and have so much fun doing it! Here is a link to the youtube video of the pictures below:

Logan is yelling up to Aiden "ok go - knock me off!" And then when he did, they both collapsed in laughter. Next it was Aiden's turn to sit at the bottom. I got a little worried here since he is such a peanut. Heeeeere we go! I'm anticipating tears, but they both thought it was just the most fun!

About Me

Stories about BRLAB: Brian & Renay, two relatively sane parents, and our three adorable, but active boys: Logan - 9, Aiden - 7 and Brady - 6. I started this blog to document our adventures and milestones for those family members who are far away and can't always share the fun in person. This blog has become my way to keep track of everything in the lives of my growing boys - from the super big stuff that seems the most important to the small things that probably really ARE the most important. I always include tons of pictures because I plan to make a book out of the blog on a yearly basis. Time flies by so fast, I can only hope that these posts will help us remember all the wonderful and silly times we have together as a family.
