Castle Happy

For over a year, the boys have been obsessed with owning their dream toy, the Eagle Talon Castle:

We already own a much older version of this castle, purchased at a garage sale several years ago, so we have refused to buy them the newer model for birthdays or Christmas.  BUT I told the boys that if they went through their old toys and sold several of them, they could use the money to buy this castle.  Well. . . they did, and guess what arrived in the mail yesterday?

Here are the boys, making the deal official with money from their "castle fund' envelope:

Let the playing begin!

Still playing, 1 and 1/2 hours later. . .

And playing again, after supper. . .

And back at it, this morning. . .

Looks like they're happy with their purchase!
