I live in the Land of Make Believe. Everyday. Every morning. Every afternoon before dinner. It is exhausting. Luckily, it can be a nice place to visit. Linus has a large box of costumes. Combined with a vivid imagination and a bit of resourcefulness, our lives are readily transformed --often by the minute.

Eileen and I regularly must brave crocodiles, dinosaurs, lions, bears, turtles, and shark attacks as well as visits from Dr. Linus. Linus has taken to introducing himself in character, "Hello Mommy, I Fireman Linus. Nice to meet you," and then shaking my hand. We have yet to witness Linus introduce himself so formally in public.
I hope Linus never loses his creativity, but I am glad for naptime when I get a break.
Ohmygod Eileen in that hat. I am dying.
