My six-year-old just spent the last hour sitting in a basket in the middle of the living room. My other two kids also wanted to sit in the basket, and when given the chance, likely would have stayed there all night, just to prevent their siblings from sitting in the basket.

How can I work this to my advantage? Would adding another basket work? Kids that put themselves in a penalty basket are a-okay with me.

I did an awkward dance of joy after discovering a hidden stash of trick or treat loot from one of the kids. And after eating two miniature boxes of Nerds, a couple of packs of Skittles and a smashed Mounds, I was pretty much ready for a nap.

Tomorrow, I swear off sugar. Or maybe not.

My son has joined chess club, and it is hilarious to see his brain at work memorizing the rules and the moves. I'm not that interested in chess, although it used to royally annoy me when my own mom would making horse noises while moving her knights. Now? I'm totally planning to do that to my kids, too. Nature, nurture, who cares. Comedy is comedy, people.
