once upon a time
Leo and Fischer always want us to tell them a story or two once they get into bed, but this week I’ve been making them tell me one first before I tell one. The other night both of them told different stories about Lightning McQueen, Chick Hicks and the King. The best part is that no matter what story Fischer tells or wants told, it has to involve a witch – either Lightning McQueen and a bad witch, or a brother and sister and a good witch, or my modified C. S. Lewis: the tiger, the witch and the closet. Leo’s a little more unpredictable – tonight she asked for a story about a clover and a leprechaun.
It’s funny to hear what they come up with, but they’re getting better each day. And they know to start out with, “Once upon a time . . .” Fischer likes to close it out with a simple, “The End,” while Leo prefers the more traditional, “And they lived happily ever after. . . .”
THE END

Okay Marissa! LOVE your blog. And I’ve been cracking up on all of your last entries. So funny that Leo told your husband to Kick Down. I love how you haven’t changed and I too am scared tomorrow Im 30. Where did time go? Just wanted to say Hi and that your family is adorable. Love, Heather
