I'm with the band
Remember this?
Youngest was locked (okay, not locked) in his room for a couple of days...
The same participants are now involved in this-
The Band.
I wonder if Jeero has a fan club.
The drum kit.
Bear is an excellent drummer - but he's quiet...
Lighting is key, and there were special effects which were hard to capture on film and involved the use of all KINDS of equipment...
The crowd...
WAS WILD.

primo does the same sort of thing with his Thomas trains. keeps him occupied for HOURS, i tell you...
By the way, I found my chicken show and tell. It's at

That monkey is on something.
And the boy child has a swimsuit (now outgrown, sadly) that looks EXACTLY like whatever Bear is wearing there.
c. doesn't understand that all the songs on our album are the beatles. each time she loves you comes on, he shouts THE BEATLES! THE BEATLES! MOMMY! THE BEATLES!!!
they formed their own band. mostly tennis racquet guitars. h. sings. they have a drum for the songs that require it.
h says, "i was thinking about singing the word stupid in a song. but that is sad. i'm going to sing about love."
(don't tell, but i've seen c. practicing his singing in the mirror. so their may be a mutiny soon).
every light in the house must be off. this is essential.
i explained to them the need for a band name. i suggested the [ourlastname]boys.
h. paused and then he said, "i've got it! the lightnings!"
"And mommy? Sometimes? We sing when it's sunny out."
This is a very good use of spare time. I like this very much.
We have elaborate play with our 'babies' (I have to come up with a new name or I fear the boys will have great disdain for anything 'baby' as soon as both are in Real School) during the day. Ending with the nightly reading sessions and careful placement all around the bed at bedtime.
That Jeero is a wonderful fellow. Where did he find him?
I'm up with the chicken!
I used to do something along similar lines. With boxes and boxes of little plastic army men, I'd stage elaborate battle scenes (WWII, U.S. vs. Japan - or - Britain vs. Germany), complete with natural terrain features, forts, et.al.
Then my big brother would surprise bomb with a gym shoe. Good times. Well, except for the shoe bombing.
