Jesus vs the Abominable Snowmonster

I wish I'd been smart enough to take pics of this...

One thing that I have always loved about my boy is his imagination - from turning train tracks into skates and a hockey stick to making musical instruments out of - well, anything - his little imagination is about as vivid as they come, and has been since he breathed his first.

Last night he decided that the pieces from our Nativity set - already explicitly explained that they are off-limits and not toys - were going to be characters in his own little drama. First, Mary and Joseph and baby Jesus were sleeping, then eating. And then, one of my lightweight dumbbells morphed into the Abominable Snowmonster . Mary, Joseph, and Jesus decided this was no good. They stopped what they were doing, jumped all over the Snowmonster, knocked him over, and then "went back to Bethlehem to have a party." He then laid the other dumbbell in front of them so that "no more Abominable Snowmonsters can get back into Bethlehem". All this in our livingroom floor, ladies and gents. So much for the rules around here....oh well.

This is my life. Every day. And I must say, I have a pretty good life!
