Mama came home!

Mama came home! Although we loved having Aunty Carmen come up and play with us and pet us...we were happy that mama came home...of course we made sure we ignored her at first . Hummph she left us for a whole week after all! Then little by little she broke us down (well Ellie broke down first...wimp) and we were all over her in no time. She looked nice and tanned and very relaxed. We are very very happy our mama came home. She better never leave again.

Meow!

What's happening? by Lizzie and Ellie

What's happening mama? Why are you throwing clothes into a suitcase? Have we been bad? Are you running away from home? Mama we love you...don't go! We don't understand why you would want to swim in saltwater...throw salt in the bathtub...you know we love coming in the bathroom when you are taking your bath. Sand...why on earth do you want to lie in the sand? Okay throw that in the bathtub too. Sun...what do you mean you want sun? We get sun all day long...and if you stay, you get to pet us all day long in the sun. Wouldn't that just be the best vacation you have ever had? No mama...don't go on the plane (says Lizzie).

What's a plane? (Ellie asks with her head sideways).

Baby that is a big bird that flys in the sky and takes people places (says mama).

Like the birds flying around here??...just let me at em...I'll take care of those birds or planes (says Ellie menncingly).

Mama please don't go...(Lizzie starts whinning).

Aunty Carmen is coming to take care of you girls... (says Mama hoping to distract her little ones).

Aunty Carmen?....Yipee....we love Aunty Carmen (Lizzie&Ellie in unison).

She gives us lots of treats (says Ellie).

You are such a porker (says Lizzie)

Am not! (says Ellie)

R too (says Lizzie)


MAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA (both in unison).


(And they wonder why I want to go to Cuba for a week's vacation...sigh (says mama).

Whatever!
