Pretend that....

It's a phrase we hear about 100 times a day right now.  Their imaginations are running wild and the girls are SO good at pretend play.  They do it all day long and some of the things that come out of their mouths are hilarious.  Here are just a few scenarios I've heard in the past 48 hours:

• Pretend that the sandbox is Noah's Ark and the rain is about to start coming down.  Reese has the hose for rain effect and Ryan is yelling at her to get on the ark because the flood is coming.
• Pretend that you're Dr. Matsumoto and these are my sick babies.
• Pretend that my babies threw up all day and have a fever of one hundred thirty. 
• Pretend that you're sick and you have swimmer's ear and can't swim for a week. (Not swimming for a week is a full blown tragedy at our house)
• Pretend that these markers (brown, blue, orange) are the boy markers and these are the girl markers (pink, purple, yellow) and they are about to get married and have babies.
• Pretend that this box is my minivan and we're going to London for a fancy party.
• Pretend that you're my husband and you sell houses.  My job is to clean pools.  (Ree had a conversation with the pool guy last week and told me promptly after their conversation ended that she was going to be a pool cleaner when she grew up, in addition to being a vet, pediatrician, Realtor, firefighter, and a mommy :)

It never stops and it's the cutest interaction I've ever seen.  I could write a million more and I'm sure I'll have some new ones next week.  I love that they have a built in best friend who they can play with 24/7.
