K.Lo truly came up with some gems today.

• As we passed by the pumpkin patch on the way home from preschool, K.Lo very excitedly said, “Look! Pumpkins! Can we go to the Pumpkin Forest?”
• As usual, she wanted to know what we did while she was gone, and so, amongst other things, I told her that N.Lo watched “Maggie and the Ferocious Beast.” She said, “Oh! Can I watch ‘Maggie and the Roasted Beef?’”
• As Halloween nears, the requested butterfly costume is getting more detailed in K.Lo’s imagination. So far it is purple with sparkles. And, obviously, wings. She asks every day, “Can you make me a butterfly costume with [insert details here]?” To which I reply, “Of course I can.” Because I will!
• The excitement is apparently brewing at preschool as well. According to K.Lo, “Chandler is going to be Batman. I mean, Spiderman.”
• Did I ever mention “The Polish Barrette?” The Regional Manager reminded me of K.Lo’s interpretation of “The Polar Express.” Love it.
• We played Hopscotch outside today. Keeping in mind that the rules are pretty loose here, and we don’t hop so much as gallop—still getting the hang of hopping on one foot. But K.Lo’s directions were so cute, very teacher-like. “Now, which color chalk would you like to use, purple, purple or white? Now draw a square… Very good, Mommy! Now draw a number inside…”
