Brights Spots after a Long Day!

I went to pick Libbi up from daycare or school as we have started calling it lately only to find my perfect little angel in the time out corner. While this is not an unusual sight at home, it is a fairly unusual sight for school. When I walked into her room, I saw her sitting in the corner, by herself with her sad "I know I'm in trouble and I'm really sorry about it" look. I asked her why she was there and got this response from the teacher. "She was playing around and not listening during movie time." What?!?! Did you really expect a 3 year old to sit very quietly at 7:00 pm and watch a movie and not get bored and start finding things to entertain herself?!?! I certainly don't. In fact, I often wonder what she's up to if she is watching a movie and it's been quiet to long or I haven't seen her for a while. Oh well, I guess the teacher thought it was warranted that she be in time out for being naughty. She only got to come out after she apologized to her teacher and said she was sorry. Off we went. We had a discussion in the car about why we have to be nice to our friends and listen to our teachers all the time. She was sad because she knew she had done something wrong....until we got home.....
(I know, you are all waiting for that bright spot, wait for it, wait for it) As we pulled into our circle I hear a little voice in the back say,

Libbi: "We need to create our house."
Me: "We need to what?"
Libbi: "We need to create our house...you know like Travis and Sheri's house."
Me: "Oh, you mean decorate our house?"
Libbi: "That's what I said we need to decreate our house."

We get out of the truck and start walking over to Travis and Sheri's where Kyle was and as we walked by a few other houses she continues this conversation.

Libbi: "We need to decreate our house like the lights on that house and that other house are decreate." (I know what you are thinking, the word is decorated, but she kept calling it decreate.)

So I am assuming that this weekend, the Christmas decorations will be coming out and placed around the house so that Libbi can 'decreate' the house. Oh how I love Christmas and lights on the houses and the spirit of Christmas! I'm very excited for Christmas and the season!
