Creative kids

As the kids get older it's interesting to see their personalities emerge. Kai is undoubtedly my jokester. See this artwork that Kai drew at afterschool care:

If it's unclear. Kai said that the person is in the picture is in jail and on fire, all the while, smiling and saying, "oh no."

In spite of the fact that Cupcake's reign as favorite stuffie may have ended, Sora is still drawing Cupcake pictures. Her best friend at school is Evan.. today, Sora said she wanted to marry Evan (much to Nik's chagrin). On the other hand, Kai said he doesn't want to marry anyone because he doesn't want any babies since babies are too much trouble.

Random memory

Just a random note to myself about something funny Kai did.

Kai stayed at home with me and Jad for a few days before we left for Maui in February. While Jad was napping and while I was doing the laundry, I asked Kai if he would like a snack. He did, so I gathered everything together for him. He proceeded to start moving the small table and chair to face the washing machine and said to himself, "this is gonna be great." Then he set his food down and sat in front of the washing machine to watch it go while he ate his snack. What an odd child I have.

Cupcake

Sora's favorite stuffed animal friend right now is a stuffed pegasus named Cupcake. Cupcake has a mommy named Shelita. Cupcake and Shelita come from the planet Ventoya, a heart-shaped planet with rings around it that changes color. This is all Sora, none of this came from any prompting from Nik or me. This girl...

Sora's classmates so happen to have the exact same stuffed animal, so she enjoys taking Cupcake to school. Taking Cupcake away is a frequent threat or punishment.

Sora recently acquired a narwhal Beanie Baby from McDonald's. She took "Narly" to school today instead of Cupcake, so perhaps Cupcake's reign as favorite stuffie has ended? For some reason, I'm a little sad...

Cupcake illustrations too!
