My Knights in Bright Armor :)

These two worked so hard today! They made triple berry scones in the morning, read about knights, researched helmets and shields, made their own and then spared all afternoon. Not to mention that they cleaned up not only their kitchen mess, but also their construction mess without being asked! They lighten my heart everyday they are here!
