Adorable creativity

Sometimes the boys can be incredibly creative and industrious in their play. We are at the tail end of Christmas vacation (they start back tomorrow) and they are busily playing school with Thomas, Andrew, Sam and our neighbor Gabe. I've been inwardly chuckling at the wonderful updates I've gotten as they fetch items from around the house. Andrew to Thomas: "Thomas, I'm going to help you. 1 plus 1 is 2 and 2 plus 2 is 4." Andrew as he goes to the shoe rack: "Mom, it's P.E. and I forgot to get Thomas his shoes." Sam: "Mom, we need a timer. Oh, and can I get this plastic car wet? I need it for science. We're doing sink or float." Then later from Andrew "Mom, can you believe it's already snack time at school?" A while later Andrew gave me a folded piece of paper that said B+ and said it was Thomas's grade. I asked Andrew what Thomas could improve on and without hesitation he answered "Prayer. He could do better with prayer. He was pretty good all day except for the end. And he had gun class taken away." "Guns?", I asked. "Yes" Andrew replied without hesitation. "He took a gun and shot the place up and we're going to have to rebuild it so he had guns taken away." Apparently they've joined the NRA when we weren't looking! Perhaps the influence of so many blasters in The Force Awakens?
