Augustus Gloop! Augustus Gloop!

This week went by fast. Maybe it was all the blogging I did. On Wednesday (AKA HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!) we dressed up and drank Boones as planned.
Barbie was a complete imbecile and forgot to get a costume, so we had to improvise at the last minute. The result- a "snowman" that looked like a parakeet.

Speaking of birds, Isabel has this toy parrot that repeats whatever you say into it. Our plans to watch a movie were immediately thrown out the window when we realized how entertaining the parrot is. We sang songs, and it repeated them. We said funny things, and it repeated them. We meowed, and it meowed back.

Unfortunately, the parrot did make it through the night unharmed. Today, sitting on our hearth, his top beak dangles like a loose tooth, his bottom beak is completely detached. Here's the breakdown of events that led up to it's life-changing injury. First, someone asks Clare where the party we're going to is. She answers, "It's on Augusta" (a street in Spokane), I, from my spot on the swivel chair, begin chanting "Augustus Gloop! Augustus Gloop" and grab Isabel to sit her on my lap. She goes complete dead body and leans all her weight on me. The chair tips over and lands, you guessed it, on our dear Polly (that's the parrot's name).

Who's to blame??



TGIF y'all,

Madge
