Really!? with Kit and Basil

Lately, I have been trying to remember to write down some of the cute or silly things the girls say and do so that I can keep their baby books updated. Since Basil doesn't have a baby book, I decided to share this story here. The other night I had gone to bed at 11 pm and was snoozing away when B came in to go to bed at 12. He proceeded to wake me up in order to tell me that we need to start getting to bed earlier. Yup, that's my man. ("poke, poke, poke, poke, poke"-Jeppesen joke)

The Very Hungry Halloween

One summer morning, the warm sun came up and - pop!- the mama of a tiny and very hungry caterpillar and a speedy and very beautiful butterfly realized that if she wanted to make costumes for those two she had better start early. She started to look for some ideas. The mama took ONE look at her girls and new that they would steal the show no matter what. She chose TWO costumes and got to work. Even though the butterfly was fast, the mama was slow. It took THREE months. When the costumes were finally finished, it took FOUR tries to get the beautiful butterfly to wear her wings. When she finally did she decided she liked them after all. When Halloween finally came, the daddy thought that those girls were so cute, he gave them each FIVE stars. The next day the mama tried to get some pictures. It took one snack of milk, one bribe of Halloween candy, one episode of Dora the Explorer, one emergency diaper change, and one slobbery slice of watermelon. After that, the mama was pooped, so they all had one nice long nap and after that she felt much better. THE END. Epilogue- the mama also decided to save money by making some spooky window silhouettes. Unfortunately, she didn't realize how much lamination costs. She vowed to never again laminate a decoration!
