Sweet Dreams

Tonight when I put Olivia down to sleep for the night I crawled in to snuggle with her for a few minutes and tell her a story. She requested a story about a Genie and a Princess. So I told her the story of Princess Olivia who met a Genie who wanted to grant her three wishes. I asked her what each thing Princess Olivia wished for as we came to that point in our story and she wished for: 1) a birthday cake with a candle, 2) a castle with a flag, and 3) a swing.
Man do I love this girl.

Since it was so fun to hear her answers, after I put Liv to bed, I went in and snuggled with Owen too and told him a story of a little boy named Owen who was walking in the dessert and found a genie’s lamp. Owen wished for: 1) a red marble that you can’t lose (we recently lost one around here...), 2) a picture of him that never breaks (no recent broken pictures, so I am not sure about that one) and 3) pretend corn for his play kitchen. Wow, not what I was expecting, but I found it to be really cute too. I even told him that the genie granted him one EXTRA wish, and he wished for a new toothbrush...
Then I told him to pretend that he was King Owen of our family for the day and that meant that he got to choose what we were going to do that day all day. I asked him what he wanted to do and he said “Go to Cheryl’s!” Shout out to the Puzeys. :) Your house is Disneyland to my kids. :)
