Eileen: I want a bunk bed with a bottom princess bunk and a princess blanket and princess sheets and a princess pillow.
Me: (trying to get Linus to help clean up the basement) I'll let you scrub the toilet.
Linus: Deal!!
Me: We had to move Robin into the closet for sleeping.
Eileen: Oh dear.
Linus: I do not love the ground. (After tripping and falling on the sidewalk)
Eileen: I just want to be naked and be a princess! (arguing against getting dressed for preschool)
The kids have been on a roll this month and endlessly entertaining. Eileen has taken to wearing costumes at all times. Usually a princess, bat, or some interesting combination--dragon/ninja/scuba diver anyone? Robin is no longer phased by people in disguise.
Linus likes to play Calvin and Hobbes. It isn't a stretch for him to be in character. Calvin and Hobbes recently went on a sailing adventure.
The kids have been finding ways to work around my limiting their screen time.
