Army Of One

When you have 3 young kids and another on the way, you quickly learn there are some battles that aren't worth fighting (Translation: we're tired and don't feel like negotiating).

With that in mind, the story.

Ryan claims he wants to be in the Army. He loves wearing camouflage, lines up his little soldier guys for battle, and has been writing back and forth with our cousin who is serving in Iraq.

So imagine his delight when our friends dropped off some hand-me-downs for the boys, and buried in the bag were a few Halloween costumes. He was "that kid" in Lowes stomping down the aisles in his full get-up chanting, "Hut, 2, 3, 4...hut, 2, 3, 4..." Awesome.
