There is huge drama brewing in our house. The issues surrounding an important event in the fall is causing quite a stir. The debates are heated. The intensity is palpable. And, the family is split down two opposing sides.
What is this key issue causing such a divide?
No, it's not the future of health care in our country. It's not the war in Iraq. It's Halloween. And, the family is divided as follows:
Those who think Ivy should be allowed to dress up as a mermaid like Kai [3].
vs.
Those who think Ivy should NOT be allowed to dress up as a mermaid like Kai [1]
Kai has determined that Ivy should NOT be a mermaid even though all Ivy talks about is dressing up like a mermaid for Halloween. She wants to be just like her big sister. But, her big sister is having none of it.
So, Kai came up with a sneaky solution the other day. Sometimes she scares me just a little bit.
Kai: "I have an idea that will make everyone happy, Mom."
Me: "Good Kai! What is is?"
Kai: "Let's trick Ivy. We'll tell her that she is dressing up like a mermaid, but really she'll be wearing a flower costume. Isn't that perfect?"
I've got to convince her to use her powers for good and not evil...

I'm amazed that this is a topic of conversation in other housholds when its 95 degrees outside and I haven't the least bit thought about Halloween. Unbelievable, what our children's priorities are. Anyway... My 6 year old ironically is also planning to be Ariel from the Little Mermaid. She has been Snow White and Belle in previous years, so if you looking for a good princess costume, I can drop it in the mail. Best of Luck!

I LOVE Kai. She is so the evil genius! I can just see her little eyes lighting up with the delight of pulling the wool over her sister's eyes. And I can so see adorable Ives trying to be big sister all the time! I miss them! You must visit.
