Ever since Kate went to Disney in February (and EuroDisney in October) she has been obsessed with princesses. So what better place to take her than a country that has hundreds of castles, some in ruins and some upkept? Most weekends, we make at least one trip to a local castle. There are 5 within 15 minutes of our house. Each week we venture a bit further. Here are a few pics from the castles near us. However, I am getting quite tired of fielding the question of "Where are all the prince, princesses, kings and queens?" I fight the urge to just say, "THEY ARE DEAD. THEY EXIST NO MORE." However, that might be a little scarring...
Speaking of scaring, our neighbors had a kitchen fire the other night and right as Rebecca and the kids got home, the fire department arrived, many trucks, many hoses. The kids were a bit intimidated, but now Kate woke up 3 times last night screaming and a sweaty mess from dreams about fires. Just wonderful...

Oh, I don't know. I'm sure there is a fun, silly way to convey the death information. Maybe you could play a little game with a fake guillotine or something?
ReplyDeleteYou can't possibly be serious??? If my daughter is scarred by a kitchen fire, you think the dramatic chopping of one's head off to explain death is a good idea? I guess you do have two boys...girls are fragile! :)
