Have I mentioned my boys' love of pretend combat? Oh yes, that little post right here. It is commonplace for Trevor to start his day, by dressing himself, shirt tucked in, belt on and sword or arrows in place as seen here:
Even if there is no fight on the horizon, he just wants to be prepared. {That cute little man will be a star in Scouts someday--he already counts down the years to when he will be a Scout and get to try out a real bow and arrow for his Archery patch}.
Though Trevor and Preston store their arrows this way, they have also been found with their arrows down the back of their shirt, because they don't have that "arrow holder like Robin Hood":
Of course, they are referring to a quiver.
Robin Hood, Legolas, Hercules--all good arrow-carrying archers have them. Trevor wants one. I have suggested he continue to use his imagination or we could just jimmy-rig one for him.
All this quiver-talk reminded me of a scripture:
"Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord...As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them..." Psalms 127:3-5
Our quiver is full and happy are we.

I laughed to myself when I noticed Trevor's belt around his elastic waist shorts on Thursday. Love that kid. Love all your kids for that matter.
What a great post. We got Buntsy his first belts this last weekend and he was so excited to have a belt just like trevor!
