The Princess & The Sword

Kara found this on the play table the other night:


The twins were given a set of Playmobil knights and royalty for their birthday a month ago. The set has six or more knights with armor, swords, battle axes, maces, etc. Viva was given sets that included a king, queen, prince, and princess.

So who do you think put the big sword in the little princess's hand?! We asked the kidlets at breakfast the next day. Viva was indignant. Of course, she did not do that! Bentley denied doing it. Jake readily owned up.

The birthday Playmobil sets also include a working catapult, trebuchet, crossbow, and cannon. The crossbow is a major hit with the boys. Jake shot it at Viva the other day while she was sitting on the toilet and the arrow ended up in the toilet bowl. Before we could properly respond Viva had fished it out and handed it to Jake. Aren't preschoolers delightful?!

The only real lack in the Playmobil sets that the twins own is not nearly enough horses for the armored knights. How far is a knight in armor going to get without a horse? I wonder if Playmobil sells horses only? I'll go google that.
