Kick Someone's Can

The boys wanted to get outside last night and play some games. It was a really nice night so we decided to play kick the can. I asked the boys if they had ever played? Both Elias and Isaac thought they knew but they didn't really remember much. Silas knew though. He said, "It's the game where you go and kick someones can." What he meant by that is kicking someone in their "can". Although that sounds like a really fun game too, I don't think the boys would have enjoyed it quite as much as kicking a regular can. We had a lot of fun running around the backyard and trying to hide from the boys. Jude even had fun. Tami bundled him up and he just wandered around in the dark while we played. It must have been a good night because no bones were broken, everyone was still on speaking terms and we all want to play again soon. Next week it is going to be capture the flag. I wonder what Silas can come up with for an explanation of that game?
