Christmas Elfo

Apparently there is benevolent Christmas ghost, named Ethan, who finds your presents and other lost items for you. He is not to be confused with the kid named Ethan (also imaginary) who bites and kicks and scratches you.

Toddlers are confusing.

Christmas Vocabulary

Reno, elfo, trineo. I'm working on my Christmas-related vocabulary in Spanish.

Pumpkin Patch Death Tube

We went on a pumpkin hunt two weeks ago and thought we should try out the slide. Joaquin really liked it.
