Christmas birthday cake
I asked Baxter what kind of frosting he wanted on his birthday cake: vanilla, peppermint, or chocolate. His answer: “brown.” 
My new Death Star

Elfed out
A short play (with no actual ending yet)
Saga of a tree
A careful reading of Star Wars
Lately our bedtime reading has been half Ivy and Bean, half Star Wars: The Adventures of Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight. I’m going to miss these three while in Philadelphia for the next 6 days.

Kitties
Overheard:
Baxter: “I’m turning into a kitty.”

“Where’s milk? Tuna fish! Tuna fish! Tuna fish is the BEST!”
Grateful for Brussels sprouts
