Update: Mad Monkey Cuteness

Friday was the Halloween carnival at Nini's school and Bubs was the beau of the ball, reports Sissy. People were dragging their friends in from other parts of the building to see him.

A dad asked if it was alright to take his picture for the yearbook. "I know I'm a guy, "he said " but this is the cutest thing I've ever seen."

Alas for Ni's butterfly wings that had been appliqued and quilted and be-sequinned! Not enough stiffener or something, so they flopped around too much. Sunday, we did a quick Google for an alternative involving the black tunic and decided: "Ladybug!" Yesterday I swept by the Hobby Lobby for new supplies and sewed the little round red and black wing case for her back and I must say it is darling and she will be cute as puddin' pie. Good save, Mimi!

Oh, and FYI, trick or treaters: if you actually say "Trick or Treat!" winningly, and then thank the nice parent, you will get more treats. Just hold your bag out silently demanding and there will possibly be one Hershey's kiss for you.

It's called quid pro quo and it will come in handy someday.

Pretty Much Unbearable Mad Monkey Cuteness

Bubs in Love

Well, you let the boy out into the big world and he falls for the first pretty face he sees.
Yes, Bubbins is completely infatuated with Miss Amy, his Baby School teacher.
He’s so crazy about her that he won’t wait for the green-light “GO” signal before haring off down the hall in a Frankenstein gallop to throw himself at her knees.
When she takes one of the other kids into the changing alcove, he sits beside the baby gate going “Hi?… Hi?… Hi?” until she returns.
He blows her kisses all the way out of the building.
And while there's no real future for this January-September pair, all the other women in his life are really jealous.
