Question Everything

Jenna asks approximately 33,882 questions in one day. This is an example of a typical conversation (J = Jenna, M = Mommy):
J: Mommy what do you have on your foot?
M: I have a booboo.
J: Why?
M: I dropped an ironing board on my toe
J: Why?
M: I have butterfingers
J: Why?
M: My fingers are slippery
J: Why?
M: My hands were wet
J: Why?
M: I was in a hurry and didn't dry them enough
J: Why?
etc etc etc

When will it ever end!
At least I got to make the word saloon on Quiddler - 61 points!

Problem Solving

Last week we had another fun Dungeons and Dragons gaming time. I really enjoy playing my cleric. She is definitely a happy character. I never realized how much D&D is like problem solving. You get into a room and then have to determine the best way across it or to another room depending on the obstacles. Well, I must not be very good at problem solving because much of the time, I just thought - I don't know, run away? But Erik is a halfling rogue who had good ideas about lowering himself in a room with a rope, etc. Once I get more experience I should be able to problem solve better. It's fun to think about though. You can see Jon as the DM sitting at the front of the table guiding us all!

We are all going to the Renaissance Festival October 6. I won't be dressing up because I currently look like a balloon. But Erik and Jenna will be dressing up. The Renaissance Festival is so fun - hopefully it will be a nice day and no rain!

Jenna is doing so well at swimming lessons. Here is a picture of her with her class swimming across the pool as an alligator. They are supposed to swim across the pool as an alligator and each time increase the difficulty. For example, one time they are supposed to blow bubbles, and the next time they are supposed to put their heads under water. Jenna just swims across as an alligator each time.

Today I got 74 points with a maximum score of 67. I was excited because I got to make the word talent. It made me feel talented!
