Breaky Sticky.

Today the kids and I went to the park and played for about an hour. Nathaniel and Gabriel immediately found several "dangerous" looking sticks and began playing swords. Micaela, not to be left out, used the very same sticks to make "flower flagpoles". Occasionally Nathaniel would belt out, "Ready! Left! Go!". As I watched it appeared that he was holding one stick perpendicular to the other in the shape of a crossbow. On the word "Go" Nathaniel would let the upper stick fly forward. It looked like fun so I joined in. After a few commands, I asked Nathaniel what we were doing. In response he yelled, "Ready! Left! Breaky Sticky!". Soon Nathaniel will be getting a child's size bow and arrow set from Daddy. Then we can really play Breaky Sticky.
