Plastic Fish Fry

Friday evening I came in from working all day and found the boys at play. They were fishing all day in the house, off the steps, on the bed, and they were excited because they had caught the same plastic fish over and over all day. Pawpaw took Logan and Micah to Wally world earlier in the day and purchased the plastic rods and reels complete with magnetic fish for the 3rd time since the boys were slung into this topsy turvy world. This time was no different from all the other times. They loved these little rod and reels as though they had never played with them before. I ate plastic seahorses, octipi, green crappie and red catfish all evening until bedtime. Everytime a fish was caught on the magnetic hook we had to filet, fry and eat the catch. Must not waste a bite!

Today the boys went up in the fort and cast their hooks into the sea and caught imaginary whales, and other big old fish. They made a fire with the cut wood from the pecan trees and then they lost interest... When I went outside to get them to come in from a hard day at the fishing hole they had bombarded the porch with dirt clods and charcoal pieces from the chiminea. Then they learned to sweep! Another adventure in the lives of Logan and Micah. Micah caught eleven fishes and Logan caught a pail full.
