Queenie and The Brain

I am not sure how many kids have imaginary friends. I never had one, and aside from my neice's imaginary Grandmother Ella, I had never encountered one. Grant doesn't have an imaginary friend, exactly...but at times I catch him whispering under his breath and looking like this:

When I ask him what he is doing he replies with a hand up shushing me, or a remark like "Hold on, I am talking to THE BRAIN." Occasionally he will even burst out in the middle of the day, "What a great idea BRAIN!" Or after I ask him a question, he will say, "Let me ask the Brain." very interesting.


Katelee likes to think she is Grant's second mother. She frequently gives him loving instructions throughout the day "Make sure you watch for cars, Grant" "That is NOT good manners, Grant." etc. Well, the other day, Grant had had enough. He said, "Are you my boss, Katelee?" Katelee calmly turned to her subject and responded..."NO, I am the Queen." Glad we all know our places in the world!

October

We have just been enjoying all the fall festivities lately! October seems to be full of fun things to do and spooky sights...such as: Mr. Miagi in my bathtub when I wake up in the morning.

WITCHES!Creepy face paintings (dragons and spiders and butterflies...yikes!) Speaking of crazy faces, Grant has some classic expressions in nearly all these photos.

Pumpkins, eyeball cookies, and crazy costumes. We started out with this one for Grantbut he refused to wear it after saying the helmet would suck all his hair out. He then became Captain Grant, the deadliest pirate of the seven seas:Where does he come from!? And of course, we also had the delightfully adorable Little Red Riding Hood.
We are now trying to recover from sugar overload but enjoyed our neighborhood dinner, trunk or treating at Grandma and Grandpas and scoring serious loot around our block.
