We Got The Blues

We sure do-
Have the blues...

And, I don't mean blue eyes.

Why so sad, baby SweetCheeks?

Cuz I falleded offa my twicicle..

Ann I hadda go to thuh mercengy room-

Ann I hadda get sum shtitches-

I got 11/20 shtitches.

You sure did!

Let me count..

Hmmm... I see

Twelve-

Twelve stitches!

You need a sink bath SweetCheeks.

And we'll wash all the blood out of your hair.

And put a dressing on your boo-boo!
And give you a kiss

So you feel all better!

And by tomorrow you won't feel a thing!

Picture Me This

Sometimes pictures speak louder than words.

Here is SweetCheeks last Fall~

One minute she is holding her pumpkin~

And the next minute it is falling~

Poor SweetCheeks~

Too Tired To Eat!

Who wants to go eat?

I do! I do!

Look! One of us is happy about it

One of us is thinking~

Okay! The Thinker

Thinks it might be a good idea~
The little stinker -er-I mean-

SweetCheeks is too tired to care.

Where do these girls want to go?

Not McDonalds.

Not Pizza Hut.

No THESE GIRLS

Want to go to a

Buffet!

Wisconsin is full of buffets!

All kinds of buffets!

Ria is a good little eater~

She loves strawberries-

And apples-

And fruit-

Lulu, on the other hand,
Likes lettuce & salad~& pickles-

MyHero decides he will help SweetCheeks!

Ria watches very closely,

She is the Food Monitor
So far-so good-

No spills yet...
SweetCheeks ate all her potatoes,

And her chicken,

But decided that instead of

green beans- or broccoli-

She would have

A cupcake!

And she did!

AND-being a tired little girl~

She fell asleep eating it!

Just another day for our little SweetCheeks!

Nana's Big Adventure

Mom! Mom! Come Out-

Come out and see my toy~

It's not quite done yet-

Inside-

But she runs smooth as silk

And Oh-So-Fine!

But...but...why are you washing her?

It is ready to rain.

Come on-I'm taking you for a ride!

WHAT????

Isn't she a beauty?

Wait until she is fully restored.

Wait until you see her with her

chrome wheels on-

Wait til you see how she runs!

Come on-come on-

Get in-

Quit your whining-

What do you mean there's no handle?

I told you-she's not done yet.

Didn't you ever hear of bungee cords?

Well, of course I have!

Just not to hold a car door shut.

Don't we need seat belts?

NAH!

We start off merrily down the road,
We're off the see the Wizard-

The Wonderful Wizard of...come on...sing along...

Whoooppps...stop singing...

When the car stops..

We all stop...

Hmmm..

What

Now?

Hmmmm...

Not sure-but we're only 4 miles from home.
Can you fix it?

Maybe?

Maybe!

But first we have to cover the car.

And then?

Go home!

Home? How?

Why~Call TheBrawnyMan, of course!

Fly us home-oh great Super Hero.

Fly us home so I can pick up my car.

I will take MamasBoy to get...huh?

Get what?

A fuel pump, Mom!

It's a fuel pump!

Of course it is!

And

An hour later-

We are good to go..

But my partner in crime,

my son,

my friend,

Shall take this trip alone~

For-I am not nearly as daft as I look!

Lunch Time Drama

What's that I hear?

Is that the dinner bell on Nana's Deck?

Is it calling us for a special

Princess Lunch?

It is! It is!

Oh! It is our favorite!

Octopus On The Rocks!

We never tire of Octopus On The Rocks!

Princess Ria is SOOO hungry~

She fills her mouth so full she can hardly chew!

Princess SweetCheeks is dissecting her Octopus!

Princess Lulu has informed me that

"This is NOT real octopus-it only has six legs"

Princess Ria offers to help Princess SweetCheeks~

She will count the legs for her...

Wait--wait---what has happened here?

Princess Ria has chewed off the Ocotopus head

And

Sadly

Has left only the legs!

As you can plainly see~

Princess SweetCheeks is NOT happy!

She leaves the Royal Dining Table

And

Goes

To plot her revenge!

The End!

Summer~It's Official

ONCE UPON A TIME

There were 3 little Princesses who left Winterland

And went to their Summer Residence,

Which happens to be in the yard of

The Enchanted Witch

(who shall remain faceless)

The first and most important thing to do?

Why~Bring in their summer wardrobes, of course, you silly!

Every household needs one Working Princess

To hang the clothes so they stay oh-so-fine.

Good job, Lulu!

Everything is hung so very neatly...but wait..

You are missing a couple of fancy dresses~
Never you mind,

I see that the two non-working Princesses

Have donned their gowns and are ready

To have their pictures taken.

Soon, all three are sitting on the lawn

Of the Enchanted Witches Castle.

Ria is telling a story

Of diamonds and rings

And necklaces made of candy

Someone has decided that is enough story time...

It is time to run and skip and play...

With the fairies.

And off she goes-Into the magical world

Of Childhood~
