bleach

After a rough couple of days of sick kids- throwing up every 40 minutes kind of sick, Cara wiped down many of the high traffic areas of the house with bleach. Soon the familiar sanitary scent was everywhere. Jack said it smelled like swimming pools.

Maggie said it smelled like... water proof.

Dunny Brust

Totoro Dust Bunnies by Treebeerdy

Mom: Hey guys, look! One of our pets is on my shirt!

They both come running to see.

Maggie: A Dunny Brust!

Beavers and Elmo

Might as well get the March posting in ....



Margaret mentioned Justin Beaver the other day

In the middle of the night, she was concerned about monsters under her bed (thank you Barbara Park's Junie B. Jones).  I told her the only monster in her room was Elmo, and he wouldn't let anyone else in.  She went back to sleep with the comfort that "Elmo will protect me."  Whew.
