happy halloween!

just wanted to jot down some funny thoughts as all hallows eve starts off.

yesterday we put together the bunk bed for nissa's room. she'll only be on the bottom for now, but we thought it would be good to plan ahead. it's a little smaller than a full twin, so it works in the room with the crib. she's been big into forts lately, so introducing it as a fort-bed was the best thing we could have done. can't wait to hear how she liked it come morning.

saturday, while driving home with nissa, we passed a tree that had no leaves on it- either due to the season or to being dead; i couldn't tell. nissa pointed it out and said, "a hadrosaur ate all the leaves off that tree!" um, yes, kinda. good observation, nissa! but hadrosaurs don't exist any more. so i explained how when autumn comes, most trees' leaves change colors and fall off before winter comes. the rest of the weekend was filled with things "changing colors." oi. adam's response? why can't nissa know something useful? we'll have to work on that.

nissa's very excited to be a ghost for halloween. she's been talking about it for weeks and loves the costume i made for her. every night for at least two weeks she's asked if we can go trick or treating that night. sorry kiddo, not till halloween!
