Down, Set, HIKE

Our evenings these days consist of either playing cars, Ninja Turtles, or football.  Both boys just love to clear out the living room floor and play.  It is a great way to end our days playing together.  The other night may have topped them all though with the laughs.  For Christmas Lukas got a football helmet.  He felt it was necessary to bring it out for our family game.  No problem, except that Lawson then had to have a helmet.  He first brought out this.....

This helmet is a small one that was bought for Lukas from one of the GB coaches.  It fits over your fist.  I tried to explain that it wouldn't fit his head, but after failed attempts of that explanation I moved on to find a new helmet we could use.  My quick thinking came to this...

He LOVED it!  He walked into the living room and Erin and I could not stop laughing.  He was happy as could be and ready to play.  He would not play a down without it on.  Of course when Lukas saw the bowl he tossed the actual helmet and needed a bowl for a helmet as well.  

These are our "tough" faces

The minds of little boys.  They couldn't have been happier and it put smiles on all of our faces :)
