Audrey had been begging to spend some time at Fairyland; we had a great morning together. And yes, those are goats on the roof.

Pumpkin Ravioli

The Bay Area child's response to what you can make with a pumpkin.

Such a Helper

As I was getting out of the shower Audrey came in and said, "Mom, I put the doughnuts in the kitchen for you."

And she is referring to the doughnuts we were trying to keep a secret by hiding them in our room.

Smart Cookie

Garrett, on eating a cookie and drinking a glass of milk while in the bathtub, "I wish there was a floating tray."

Butler Box

I told Matt about a box we used to have as kids. My parents told me that the "butler" came around every night and picked up after us. If we left a toy out he'd pick it up and put it in his box. We'd have to do an extra chore to spring our toy from the pokey.

Matt implemented The Butler on Tuesday and so far it's worked great.

Today during snack (and out of the blue) Garrett asked when the butler's birthday was. No doubt The Butler has seeped into his head and he's worried about him taking his toys...
