We’ve had an influx of monsters in the house lately. I made a rule awhile ago that we only allow friendly monsters in the house, so when the kids encounter a monster they immediately ask if it’s friendly. If so they invite the monster to have breakfast with us and play games. I found Lex in the living room one day playing chess with a monster and another morning I played a game of Trouble with Lex, a stuffed kitty, and a monster. The monster almost won! A few days ago Lex decided to draw a picture of his monster for me. I appreciate it! Later I asked how the monster ate his Kixx (a favorite of monsters) and Lex said, “oh no, I forgot to draw his arms!” :)

Lex's monster friend. Eve tried to draw her monster friend too, but it mostly looked like a blob.
