Argh

Judging from the ominous crashes and thumps coming from the kids' rooms I should not be writing here right now. But what harm can unsupervised kids do anyway. After that last sentence I thought I should check. Stevie had crawled right out of his pants. Abandoning them mid hallway to check out what was going on in Abby's room. Well. She was on top of her dresser clad only in shoes and a crown. Brandishing a wand like a sword. When I came in she asked me "How dare you enter the Queen's castle!?! Go away!" But then a quiet aside "But come back in a minute I need help with my dress." So I suppose I will have to go back in a minute. The other day Abby kept showing me her purse and calling it a Boston Organizer. Then she proceeded to show me how quickly she could put an entire mess of loot in it neatly in a matter of minutes. Even a banana. It took me a minute to realize she was acting out an infomercial she had seen. It was priceless. "See this messy purse?" Dump. "Now watch as I organize this mess in a matter of minutes in the new boston organizer." Too much tv. She also tells my the Colgate total is the only toothpaste she uses. Her day starts at the break of dawn and ends at the break of dawn (Brook Shields) it is amazing to see how much she absorbs. It's is also a little scary. She'll be wiping up something and say "Designed with you in mind" What? I guess I should let her watch tv. Excuse me now, there are more ominous thumps.
