Toys are packed

So we've begun the packing process. A couple of stories to go along with it:

A week or so ago, Jack was asked to help pick up toys. He didn't want to, so Billy threatened to throw them away. Jack said, "Okay. That's fine." So Billy started putting his toys in garbage sacks and Jack even helped. Billy even found toys in the kitchen garbage that he had to dig out! Jack said, "I can get new ones." Yeah, right! We didn't throw any toys away, but they've all been packed, and he has just a few left around the house.

Yesterday while he was playing in the basement, he brought two of Ellie's princess dolls to me and asked that I dress them for him. I guess since all his boy toys are packed, he'll be playing with Barbies, dolls, and other girly toys until we move. He doesn't ask for his toys, but he does ask when we'll be moving into the new house.

And then in Amelia's world, toys and play are getting a little more interesting. I love how Jack has her dressed up here. And notice is constant reminder that she is Robin -- not Batman or Spiderman. She's the sidekick, of course ... while he's in charge.
