A partial list of the girls’ activities at dinner tonight:
- Praising the entree, sweet-potato chili
- Saying “please” and “thank you” (both did this, but it’s new for Vivi)
- Singing “Silent Night” and parts of “Most Wonderful Time” and “Frosty the Snowman”
- Debating whether it would be okay for Vivi to have “tree raisins” for dessert (it was not)
- Pretending that Jesus was with us for dinner
- Accidentally burping, and genuinely exclaiming, “Koos ME!” (Vivi only)
- Discussing breakfast options
- Counting the number of days (2) until the next day at nursery school
- Making barnyard-animal sounds, including alpaca and llama
- Analyzing the fact that it’s already “niddime” outside when we eat, and wondering when it will again be light at dinnertime
- Pretending to go to sleep (Vivi only)
- Struggling to hold up the right number of fingers (Vivi) for various numbers being called out by her sister
- Entertaining their father, and to a lesser degree, their mother

This is actually admin’s spouse. This blog will not let me log admin out and leave a comment under my own name! Argh!
What I was going to say was, by the time dinnertime rolls around, the girls’ shenanigans are like a comedy routine I’ve seen repeatedly for the past 10 hours–hence, not quite as hysterical as they otherwise might seem. Having said all that, I should note that some of your readers are going to wonder what “tree raisins” are. Raisins that grow on trees?

I am wondering whether Jesus got tree raisins for dessert.

Jesus gets NOTHING! He’s been a naughty boy…
