NOT Cowboys and Indians

Most boys like to play Cowboys and Indians... But my boys prefer Nephites and Lamanites. When they keep all their clothes on, they are Nephites and when they go shirtless, they are Lamanites. (Nerdy? I don't care... I love it!)


Yesterday Charles got pretty tore up by a certain "small in stature" Nephite. By the time he had to go to work he had developed a nice purple bruise on his cheekbone. Last night they also took my pile of Christmas boxes that I had all stacked up, ready to be put away, and turned them into a fort.


They hide behind their fort and shoot guns and bow and arr0ws until they run out of amo.


Then they go forward in the battlefield with their swords raised and... "Charge!"




It can get pretty intense.


They "take many lives."


And sometimes their own life gets taken.


by a little Nephite warrior...


Somtimes King Limhi is with them, other times it is King Lamoni, or King Benjamin. But almost always... there is Ammon, Nephi and Sam, and/or "Chief Captain Moroni!"
