2 funny kid stories from dinner tonight.
So, we did our Trick or Treat, and then came home to have a nice dinner with fire in the fireplace - our Halloween tradition.


Katherine announced, seemingly out of nowhere, "I really think I know what they should call'American Girl' books.  I think they should be 'Nick-shun' (Niction?) because they aren't really Non-Fiction, but they aren't really fiction either, I mean, they are sort of about things that happened once up on a time, right? So it's not Fiction, but it's not Non-fiction either! I think they should call it Niction!"

After we let that sink in, we moved on to what everyone wanted to be NEXT year for Halloween. (seriously?)   Maggie was talking about how she was not really anything this year - she used left over things to be a Witch, and she was  a Bee for our race yesterday because we all were. She said, "I was a Bee and a Witch..........I was a BE........Ah - A Beach!"  I nearly choked on my food as I gasped anticipating what she was going to say, and then laughing when she created BEACH instead of the other obvious possibility.

Abby just came and asked me for just ONE more piece of candy. And somehow, I managed to say no to this face



Never a dull moment here at our table!

Abby is obsessed with the notebook Chris gave her. She is constantly scribbling in it.
I found this page today:



Abby, what does this mean?
Well, 1 plus 1 equals 2.....but I didn't know how to write a 2, so I used 3, but 1 plus 1 really is 2, not 3.

Thanks Abby, that makes total sense. (Let me introduce you to your Aunt 'MEH')

But Abby what are the other numbers?

Well, I wanted to do 2 plus 2 equals 4. But my 2s look like 3s, and I didn't remember how to make a whole 4, just 1 line of the 4.

Sure Abby. Perfectly clear to me!
