So Matt has started a new bedtime tradition - he writes and recites a new original story every night for the kids in the series, The Extravagant Adventures of Robert and Molly. It all started one night about a week ago. Addison would rather die than go to bed when it is time. So she proceeded to beg feverishly with lots of tears for "just one more story." (This is when I quickly evacuate the area.) Matt was stuck. At the time, I think he thought it was easier to quickly make up a story to appease her than grab one from the shelf. 15 minutes later he was still going, and roars of laughter were ensuing from her room. He finally ended for the evening, and the sweet girl eagerly grabbed his arm and said, "Daddy, can we go rent the movie?" Well, that was all he needed, and so the tradition will continue. Every night, both kids beg for the next adventure while hanging on his every word. I am not sure who enjoys this more!
On another note, you probably noticed the empty room with a mattress on the floor. We are having the wood floors refinished starting tomorrow. We are so excited! Unfortunately, the kids and I will have to evacuate. But the timining is perfect for a week long trip to visit family over Thanksgiving. Then, we can finally get moved in for real!
Happy Thanksgiving!
