It must be all the ancient castles that we're visiting but the boys have gotten very interested in knights.  Susan (Steven's Mom and their Memah) captivated them with the story of King Arthur pulling the sword from the stone and the knights of the round table.  Steven and I have had a rule that we wouldn't buy them toys that were weapons.  It just seemed weird to us to have them playing with things like guns.  They begged for the swords though.  After refusing them for days and listening to all the tears, we finally relented.  They were so happy.  Sayer just kept looking at me and saying "I can't believe we have swords!".  Without further ado, I would like to introduce you to Sir Lancelot du Lac and his sword, named Courage...by the way, according to Sayer, this is what he is supposed to do whenever the King walks by. 

and Now, Sir Gawain and his sword, named Victory...

Sir Gawain, run through

 
Tweety Bird, killed in action July 2008.

After a particularly difficult battle...

 
and just for laughs...(by the way, Sayer told me that this video wasn't funny)
