Snow White Visits On The Border

  We received a couple of bags of hand-me downs from friends, and Sara found a Snow White costume at the bottom of the bags.  She latched onto the costume and wore it for 24 hours straight. I did not think that I was going to be able to get it away from her to wash it.  When she put it on, she told me, "Mom, I am wearing Snow White's dress, but I am still Sara."  ...just in case I was confused.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

We were driving to town the other day and both kids were whispering to each other in the back seat.  After a few minutes of intense whispered debate, Trey announced, "I want to be a Jedi Knight when I grow up!" I know its hard to imagine, but I wasn't particularly shocked at his career choice considering that I have been living Star Wars since the child discovered it.  However, a few seconds later, Sara piped up with, "...and I want to be an Icee store owner!". Have I mentioned that she is 3?

Zoinging the Mostest Bad Guys

If you had told me 10 years ago that I would spend a large portion of my day off zoinging the mostest bad guys with a light saber and saving the Wookie home planet from the dark side, I would not have believed you.

A Story

by: Sara, age 3

I lost my barrette on the playground.  A cat came down from the trees and took it.  Then he climbed up the slide and went back into the forest.  Maybe it was an armadillo.

The End

I've always wondered what happened to her barrettes.

According to my son, do you know why we planted garlic in the garden?  To repel vampires, of course.

Strike a Pose

I only specified that he had to have shoes on both feet before we left.  Next time, I added, "the same kind!".
