But I will say that things with #1 HUSBAND and the kids are wonderful. I am having a great time watching the kids grow. My latest thing is making up bedtime stories. When Jack was an infant I lulled him to sleep with "Once upon a time there was a little boy named Jack and he had two dogs, one named Roxy and the other named Gus..." every night was another adventure with the threesome.
Well. Now there's no more Roxy. But the stories are more interesting because we've now got Sister Charlotte in the mix. These once upon a time tales are about Sir Jack the brave, kind dragon fighting knight and his lovely, smart and compassionate sister, Princess Charlotte. They live in the Kingdom of Terabatha. This evening, Princess Charlotte was celebrating the return of Sir Jack from a dragon fighting mission (see below) when who should suddenly arrive in an enormous carriage pulled by a dozen winged horses but fairy godmother Kit. Princess Charlotte and Sir Jack drank magical elder juice that fairy godmother had tucked away in her peacock feather cape. The juice was made by the fairies in the fairy kingdom and upon drinking it from the silver goblets they were instantly transported to the fairy kingdom. There they discovered that all was not well in fairy land. Their help was needed to rescue the great oak tree's tree cousins because the people of Terabatha had forgotten how to love nature. This made the great oak tree sad. But Princess Charlotte figured out a way to make the Great Oak Tree happy again and proclaimed a national day to honor the trees of Terabatha.
Sir Jack has a loyal horse named Buttercup and he travels throughout the countryside scouting for fearsome dragons. He saved a purple iridescent one the other night. Poor dragon was just misunderstood. Sir Jack ended up with a dragon friend who will surely show back up again some evening in the not too distant future.
Cuddling with the kids and making up stories is so delightful, it's the perfect end to a long day.
