On Guard!

Impromptu things are always so much fun. After our supermarket shopping we had a box at home. For a good part of the day it was a TV with a very modest star. Then with a vist from Uncle Paulie, this was all transformed. With inspiration from a collectables catalogue, the box/tv was transformed to a shield with a our own coat of arms. A couple of horses lying over here, some foam swords over there, a long hallway - let the jousting begin!

Later, with squire in tow, we were knights in search of a dragon. A crocodile costume transformed me to the fire breathing dragon our knight was trying to slay.

If I had planned this we would have got nowhere, but we had so much fun. Running, chasing and learning about history, a bit of craft and dress-ups - a wonderful day.
