Knight and Queen

Thursday Greyson and I killed some time in Marshall's until it was time to pick up Quinn. We stumbled onto the costume section and he insisted on buying an elephant costume. In the racks I also found an inexpensive knight costume. I asked Greyson if he wanted it and he said no but it was cheap so I bought it anyway.

When we got home the beloved elephant costume lasted for 5 minutes. "Hey, Mommy did you get that knight outfit?" After that it was all over - he has since lived in that costume, especially the crown. He has ridden his horse all over the kingdom and rescued many a fair maiden. Friday morning the first thing he did was grab that crown. Thankfully the snow princess outfit I bought Quinn had an accompanying crown and so she has played Queen right along side Greyson.

The most surprising thing of all this is that Friday morning as I was coming up from the basement the knight and the Queen were sitting happily together on the stairs. "Take a picture of us, please." Well I didn't have my camera and figured by the time I got it they would have the crowns off and be at each other throats but I thought I would try. And lo and behold they sat there nicely until I got back and even sat nicely for the pictures.

I guess it is true that medieval folk had much better manners.....
