Today Milan played Makeup Artist and Julien played her client.
Another role playing game they like is when one plays the Mommy and the other plays the child.  The Mommy puts the child in time-out.  When time-out is over, she calls the child over and asks, "what did I say?" and the other answers, then they switch roles.
   
There is also "Guess How Much I Love You" where they act out all of the parts where the Daddy bunny and baby bunny show how much the love each other.  They stretch their arms up and out, hop like bunnies, and try to balance on their hands with their legs against a wall.

Their most played game is acting out and reciting scenes from their favourite movies like: Brave, Cars and Cars 2, and Tangled.

Prayer time has gotten so cute ever since we started including the kids in the rotation. Routine has it that Milan and Julien fight over who gets to pray first and they're prayers are getting more and more elaborate. Tonight, Julien blessed everyone and everything that came to mind. He blessed Lightning McQueen, the tent, Lola, Auntie Cathy, his siblings and parents, his books, etc. until we finally had to cut in and help him with ending it. Milan is getting so thoughtful and remembers to bless everyone she loves including new people who occasionally join us for family prayers.     
I love our kids so much and having them in our home teaches us many things about innocence, trust, and the simplicity of being good people and doing what's right.
