Secret Evil Foot
So, I know you're dying to know about the foot thing. (Um... or not.)
Well, it's been a full seven days without any foot complaints. Could be coincidence. Could be the "magic" bar of soap. Could be the placebo affect. Could be that we'll hear about the foot again tonight.
We did measure the children though, and since April, E has grown an inch and a half (which might explain why she's shot from size 2T to 4 in less than four months), and D has grown an incredible three inches!
For posterity, a conversation with E:
E: Mom, so... if you don't have a chimney, how does Santa get in your house?
Me: He goes through the keyhole.
E: Oh. What if you don't have a chimney or a keyhole?
Me: Everyone has a chimney or a keyhole. (Reconginizing now that the correct response was, "Magic." I maintain a B- average in parenting.)
E: What if a bad bad witch comes and she flies away with all of the chimneys and all of the keyholes?
Me: Well, Santa always finds a way.
E: He does!?!?
Can we take a moment to notice that this is JULY?

The "Santa Clause" with Tim Allen gives a lot of great visuals for the magic-no-chimney questions. Ever since I let my oldest see it, he answers all the questions from the younger one. And you are not alone in the summer santa countdown. :)
