My kids have been wondering where all the Christmas presents are. I haven’t really been hiding them, exactly, but they expect them to be in some really clever place, so they haven’t stumbled across them yet. I wrapped everything in the guest room down in the basement, then put all the wrapped presents into some boxes in the same room–all fully visible.

This is a special kind of magic. Also, I can’t decide how creepy this actually is. Are these just random pieces of underwear that he has in his pocket, or did he steal them from someone (or several someones)? Or are his pockets linked up to some sort of portal that exits into someone’s underwear drawer?

Like most people, Winslow thinks coin currency is outdated and totally uncool.

I don’t really understand the significance of these numbers but Ben and Winslow assure me that they’re hilarious.

My youngest is 4 right now and he’s convinced ghosts live in our basement. This isn’t one of those creepy instances where a kid sees a ghost that the adults can’t; he thinks ghosts look like the ones from Pac-Man and confuses them with the lights from passing cars, so I’m pretty sure I’m not dealing with a Sixth Sense deal here.
