Only One Goes Shopping, So Only One Balloon Comes Home.

Below is a little story of what happens when only one child accompanies Mommy to the store. Emily went to the store and was very very good, so she convinced Mommy to get her an Ernie balloon as they were checking out. In her haste to pay and leave, Mommy didn't think about the fact that her other well behaving napping child at home would wake up, realize she had been gypt out of having her own balloon, would steal said balloon from big sister, and claim it as all her own. Crying would ensue. And no matter how you slice it, the crappy plain out of the bag balloon offered as replacement just doesn't make up for a fancy new Ernie balloon on a stick.

Woohoo look at me. I have an Ernie balloon on a stick all to myself.

"Baby sister, this is my Ernie balloon." Baby sister plots her heist.

Baby sister swipes the good balloon from big sister.

Left with the two week old leftover mostly deflated purple balloon, big sister cries. Click to enlarge the picture. These are real tears.

Little sister doesn't care. She has won this balloon war. The real question here may be who dressed this child this morning. Is it 70's flashback day?

They both get over it and happily skype with Grammy and Papa

Grammy made a funny!

They are eventually torn away by their favorite movie - Finding Nemo
