Princess/Pirate/Gollum

During the course of a day, Evelynn and Caelan both pretend to be princesses, pirates or Hobbits. When being princesses, the jewelry, crowns and magic wands become, well, exactly what they are. Conversations between them range from "sharing" a specific crown or poking each other with their wands that end in fits of giggles. After a while, the princesses turn into pirates, usually beginning this phase of pretend with deciding who is "Captain Scallawag." Once this has been decided, previous princess jewelry becomes treasure and shouts of "Aaaarrrrgh!" can be heard as they run to hid their precious treasures. They hide them in a cave that looks vaguely like our elevator. They get inside the elevator and pull the screen closed. At this point, their whispering begins... their pirate secrets are of treasure and where they will be setting sail to next. Evelynn will then emerge from their secret cave with gold bracelets on her arms, pushed slightly past the elbow and vanquishing intruders with her wand, er, sword. Caelan follows with necklaces draped around her neck and rings on her fingers. They circle the living room a couple of times and then head to the kitchen, usually in hopes of pirating away some food. By the time they get to the dining room, the story begins to change a little.  As they roam around the dining room table, they decide to go back to the elevator to hide their treasure. Everything they are wearing that's fancy is removed. Sometimes this even involves taking off their cloths. This new journey takes them back to the dining room where they begin traversing through the Mines of Moria (under the dining room table). Gollum lives under our table. They begin whispering again, only to start yelling "AHHHHHHHH!" and rushing to get out of Moria. They run as fast as they can to Minas Tirith, the living room. As they run, Caelan begans asking "Where is he?" and Evelynn answers by saying "There he is!" and pointing randomly towards where she thinks Gollum is. Caelan's face becomes full of trepidation. "Hurry," she whispers. They climb up the path of Cirith Ungol (the couch) where they fight off Shelob, or "the big spider." Once again, they find themselves at the elevator, now the entrance to Mt. Doom. Okay, pretend time is over. Evelynn tells me "Gollum burned, can we watch PBS Kids.org now?"
