Merrily, merrily

Tired of the ongoing shenanigans to which her brothers insist on subjecting her, Abby took matters into her own hands.

This is her "merry monster" mask. Because that's the way Jacob said it first, and none of my kids will listen to me when I explain to them that the word is "scary."

"Run away," she yelled, chasing three screaming boys down the hall, "I'm a merry monster!"

Wrong as she is, I have to admit it worked.

Score one for the girls' team.
