These are precious moments and often we forget the impact on our kids. Simply playing with our kids doing what they love! Sam loves her calico critters and has an entire imaginary world. I have to tell you they are adorable and ignite her imagination daily. The three of us sat and played 'critters' and we ended up laughing and making up a few silly stories and I know she loved every minute of this Daddy and Mommy time.
Then, Jack came barreling around the corner literally and stole a critter (or two) and proceeded to kill and destroy all life in sight. Did I train this boy to be in destruction mode? Who let this animal out??? It was hilarious and was one of those reminders of the subtle (or not so) differences between boys and girls!!

I love watching Daddio play with his girls and his attempts at what should happen with the next dramatic scene of calico critters...
