She doesn't spend enough time in the castle. Much less in the kitchen. However, she's there now making soup. You're welcome to it if you're adventurous. After all there's no telling what kind of soup it is.

Morgan goes off exploring

Fried dill pickles. Don't knock it.

And Abby, dressed for fair-going, will be partaking in ( Read more... )

What is seriousness. Who even knows. Not Evan McCartney.

So for today's lack of seriousness, everyone should know that the McCartney children are both volunteering at the kissing booth. Possibly at the same time, for maximum ridiculousness and concentrated sunshine.
