Homegrown enemies

In cleaning up the hobbitling room, the Mayor asked Seimi about one of his Duplo creations.
"It's facto-lee!" he said proudly.
Boookie chimed in, "I've been teaching him how to build factories with his Duplos so he can be North Korea and I can be the Americans and blow them up."

You can't make this stuff up.

Creations

We've been doing a lot of things with creations lately.  Here's Seimi with his battleship (aircraft carrier).  This was built without prompting or guidance from anyone.
Ela has a one-bouquet-per-day limit and today was a good day.  She said, "When Mommie lays an eyelash on these flowers, she will love them!"
Here's Boookie's OH-58 Kiowa Warrior helicopter.  He recently got a book about helicopters from the library and after reading it for awhile, went downstairs and built this awesome model.

Naval gazing

This morning, Boookie came trotting out of the bedroom and said,
"Daddy, you know on the first scene in 'Top Gun?' The captain's hat said CVN-68, so they must have been on the Nimitz."
...The Mayor did a quick search and said, "I think his hat actually said CVN-65."
"Oh, so it was the Enterprise, then!"
