Sharp Shooters

I know I said on a previous post that Lex and Roscoe wanted to be Toy Story's "Woody & Jessie" for Halloween this year, 

but that all changed a few weeks ago...

We got a non-fiction library book titled "Annie Oakley-Sharp Shooter"

The kids loved reading about her life in this short story:

Growing up without a daddy, her family was really poor. Annie learned to be an excellent shot with a gun and provided for her mother by hunting and selling the food. She ran into some cowboys one day having a shooting contest. One of them was supposedly a really good shot. His name was Frank. He challenged Annie. She won.

They fell in love and traveled all over performing shooting shows.

The kids were completely enamored with the story (well, Lexi really...Roscoe, I think just likes guns:)). 

They played all day long,

and changed their minds about the whole toy story thing, 

declaring they wanted to be

"Annie Oakley!"

&

"a cowboy!" 

(frank)

(I was okay with the whole deal...as long as they're western...we're good).

So without further ado...

Allow me to introduce...

The Sharp Shooters!

Not to worry.

Them guns aren't loaded. :)

LOve them!!
