Dream Jar

I read a story today that has a solution for bad dreams: Decorate a jar and fill it with slips of paper describing good and funny things to think about. Keep it close to your bed. Then, when the bad dream comes, pull out a paper and read it. Transform your bad dream to good.

So....Ella gave me a list of ideas...happy thoughts to turn around her bad dreams.

Sneezex and the chocolate moon

Erin called a Kleenex a "Sneezex."

Ella sang a song while eating a chocolate ice cream bar, "This is what the moon would taste like, if it were made of chocolate."

Ella posted the following secret note facing outward on our picture window:

"From:  Ella  To:  a Fare

I wod wot too

have a fare

cum too my

hows tooniyt.

Sta Forevr.

Put sum pixe

Dust on my!

cum with me

evre tim I

go."

Interpretation (in case you have trouble reading):

"From:  Ella  To: A Fairy

I would want to have a fairy come to my house tonight.

Stay forever.  Put some pixie dust on me!

Come with me every time I go."

Play button

Ella: "Erin, the play button is the one with one arrow pointing toward the hand that makes a backwards L"

Edamame

Erin and Ella enjoyed eating their edamame...while stuck to the palms of their hands with mashed potatoes.

FLARP

Erin slept last night with FLARP (translation: greenish yellow slimey substance).

You can guess the results...

Pain in the Butt

Ella said, "That was a pain in the butt."

Mom said, "Ella, that's not polite."

Ella said, "Is that because someone who has a pain in their butt might be offended?"
