They DO exist!

Courtney and I went to work with Jeremy today and she kept wanting to go outside. Since I was helping Jeremy work, I couldn't take her outside. In order to keep her indoors I told her there was a monster outside the door that would get her. And so it began. For the rest of the day she was convinced there were monsters outside, which she very colorfully described. She ran from window to window where she would shout, "I see the monsters!" Apparently they live in the bushes and are VERY quick because she could see them from every window facing all 4 directions! But no worries, because if they try to get us, "Daddy will smash them flat with his truck." I told her we'd have monster pancakes out of them and she yelled out the window "Yah, we eat you for breakfast!!!"



First we have Monster Fred. He is shiny pink with furry blue polka dots, 5 purple eyes, pink fuzzy teeth, and orange ears. Yes, i agree, he does look quite feminine, but Courtney insists that he's pink.

Then we have Baby Monster Billy. He's green with purple stripes, one eye, and green teeth.

Next is Baby Monster Polka Dot (which of whom Courtney named all by herself!) who is orange, has furry blue teeth, and has Tinkerbell on his belly.

And Lastly is Monster Mommy (also named by Courtney), who was spotted very last as we were getting ready to go. She must be a very good hider. She is yellow with a red stripe and red shoes. (she HAD to have red shoes!)

I have the cutest video clip of Courtney protecting her dinner from the monsters, but so far it has taken 40 minutes to upload and still isn't done, so i'll just try again later.

I'm impressed with your artistry and Courtney's imagination. I'm glad the monsters didn't get her.

My videos take FOREVER to upload too!!! Weird!!
This post made me laugh and have flash backs of when I first met you and you were drawing pictures of someone you worked with......
I would LOVE to spend a day with you and Courtney. It would be the most entertaining day of my life. :)
You are such a cute mommy!!!

Did you draw those monsters? I never had artistic ability. And as I recall, didn't you always have something names Fred??? It seems like it :) Great post.
