Elora and Isabelle were bored

Note #1: The following babies have never met each other in real life. The described conversation is pure conjecture.
Note#2: I don't have photoshop. I only have that dumb paint program that comes with Windows. This is my excuse for any poor picture
quality.

“ I’m bored,” sighed Isabelle Rose as she lay on the living room carpet with her favorite cousin, Elora Mae.

“Me too,” said Elora. I wish there was something exciting to do. Nothing ever happens around here. Its always the same old thing: eat, sleep, cry. I’m tired of it!”


“Remember that time we got buried in the laundry and screamed for three hours?” smiled Isabelle. “ That was so fun! I wish we could do something like that again.”

“Yeah, that was pretty cool,” replied Elora. “ But my favorite day was the time we went exporing the universe! My highchair suddenly turned into a space ship, and you were the best starship fighter this side of Tatooine, and…”

“Wait a minute,” Isabelle interrupted. “That never happened! Besides, if anyone’s highchair were to turn into a spaceship, I think it would be mine. Sheesh!


“Hey, I know something we could do," Isabelle continued. " How about we attack our sock monkeys from grandma Kimber! Remember that time you got yours in a head lock and he couldn’t get away? Your mommy had to come break up the fight because she was so worried you would destroy him for good!” Isabelle chuckled at the memory.

“ That’s true,” agreed Elora. “That might be fun if my mommy hadn’t hidden Mr. Monkey from me for his own protection.”

"Hmmm. That does pose a problem,” muttered Isabelle.

“Well,” Elora said, “we could always go play outside! We could eat grass and spit on bugs all day long. What do you think?”

“ Oh I love spitting on bugs!” shouted Isabelle. “Awww, but my mommy said its too hot to go outside today. Wait a minute…where are our mommies anyway?"Isabelle looked around in sudden confusion and began to cry.“Where’s my mommy!!” she wailed.

“Oh, don’t cry Isabelle!” Elora soothed. “Our mommies are just out fighting evil in the world with their magical mommy powers and…um…magic wands!”


“Really!” laughed Isabelle, her tears forgotten. “ Our mommies are the coolest mommies ever!”

“You got that right,” Elora nodded.

And with that the girls were quite content.

Best. Post. Ever.

I LOVED the photo of the space ships. You did a great job on that one, especially. ...and I loved the picture of you and your sister.

So, so cool.

That was the best story ever!!! I read it yesterday, but forgot to comment. Our babies are so cool! They'll be best friends for sure. My favorite is the one where Isabelle is remembering Elora eating her monkey....they look so funny. :D

thanks! I'd like to say I spent all month working on it, but it wouldn't be true. But I did spend the good part of one day with it! I also enjoy the space ships, though I would re-do Elora's ship if I had the time.
The thought bubble is also a favorite ofmine.

Totally wonderful! And that you did all of that with Windows paint is extraordinary. You're amazing. Your daughter and niece are so adorable and the story was so fun. Thanks for sharing!

I'll have to write a Patrick and Joseph story next time...although it wont be of interest to anyone but Kiera and Joseph...

julie said...

I beg to differ, I'd be interested in a Patrick and Joseph story!
