Oh my... an endless supply

The latest from Lex . . .

Mom?

Can you remind me when I'm grown up that I wanted to be an author.

Unless 9 year olds can be authors.

If I can publish books now, you can be my editor.

Oh, and after I finish The Pucker Princess, I have another idea . . .

Everyone thinks dinosaurs are extinct (big raised-brow pause here) but what if they AREN'T??!

I swear, I should write her as a character in a book.

Gutenberg is in the middle...

A taste of what can be overheard in our house:

You know The Gutenberg Press is in the middle of it all.

Me: Oh?

Yep. You see Marco Polo decided he wanted an adventure and after he went all these places exploring China, he got home and he wanted to have all his adventures written up. He did exaggerate a bit though.

And so Gutenberg printed up all about Marco Polo and then Columbus read all about Marco Polo's adventures and he wanted to have adventures too and so he discovered America.

See, Gutenberg is in the middle of it all.

2.   Expensive doors.
3.   Weird color on most doors.
4.   Glass on doors weird.
5.   Rugs need to be more soft.
6.   Hello, enrtertain kids.
7.   Work on making the lights prettier.
8.   Pink ,blue,and green wires. Really?
9.   Old people stuff. Come on, that's all you have?
10. Cotton lamp, ew.
11. White fan, ew.
12. Weird blinds.
13. Leperchaun day is over. Get the decorations off.

Seriously

That's all.

Too Much a Pirate already...

Recent converstaion with Alexis:

I'm so excited to be a princess for Halloween mom.

That's good honey.

What are you going to be?

I don't know sweetie, I have all those costumes from Summer Reading, I could be Alice, Maid Marion, or a Pirate.

Oh mom, you can't be a PIRATE for Halloween, you're too much of a pirate already and the whole point of Halloween is to be something different than what you are everyday.

...aarrgghh.
