That's what Jackson had to say to us last night at 3 o'clock in the morning. He was terrified and inconsolable. He isn't the only one who had a long night.
A few nights ago it was tiny spider monsters who could hide anywhere and only came out after kids were sleeping.
Before that it was something else (I can't remember).
I wish the ghostbusters were the real deal, because for the sake of all of our sanity this needs to stop.

Quick update on Evelyn's "Invent Idaho" project (read last week's post for details): She presented it and is now going to regionals. I am proud of her hard work- she did a lot even if Rachel or I had to supervise almost every step of the way to meet her teacher's expectations.

Addy update: Last week she asked to get her ears pierced. She was very brave. Evelyn went with her to offer moral support and to remind her every thirty seconds in a shrill voice how much it was going to hurt. Addy didn't bat an eye though, and is very proud of her new flower earrings. Evelyn on the other hand, was traumatized by the experience of watching, but is expected to make a full recovery in about 6 months (it could take 6 years for all I care).
To end, I thought I'd include the answers to an activity we did with the kids a few weeks ago as we plan out our new year .
