Poltergeist!

Last Tuesday, I made the kids' beds and got out their clothes for the day. Shortly thereafter, I was mystified by something.

I called Ben upstairs and asked him to get dressed. After that, I went downstairs, caught Claire (yes, I had to catch her), and brought her upstairs to get her dressed as well. I walked into her room and was completely taken by surprise! Her bed looked like someone (or some-THING) had crawled into it from the bottom, pushed all of the blankets up to the top, and left! I was puzzled for half a second, until I realized. . . I live with Ben!!

Just a subtle reminder of what a bored 4-year-old boy can do with a space of a minute and a half! I got a good laugh at that.

Actually, I believe we have TWO poltergeists in our house. I walked into our bedroom about a month ago, and found that every handle on every piece of bedroom furniture was pointing up, rather than down. Kind of freaky. . .

I didn't find out what happened until a few days later when I caught Claire in our bedroom, "fixing" the handles on our furniture, as she put it.

Shortly after I caught her "fixing" them, she gave a little nod, and said "PER-fect." And then she marched out. Too funny! Ah, the kidlets make me laugh.

Happy Halloween everyone!!
