Introducing Miss Ruby & Miss Sapphire!

We are usually encouraging at least one of our children to keep their dress down and to quit showing off her panties but as MC put it, "PoPo made us fancy drawers so we get to show everybody!" We did Boo at the Zoo tonight and the girls debuted their can-can girl costumes. Miss Ruby even did a little show for the zoo crowd - yikes! We can already picture her as a teenager and it is a little scary! It was really chilly but our wonders refused sweaters until after it was dark and no one could see the dresses anymore. The girls got lots of candy and I was pleased to hear several people remark on how cute the can-can girls were - I was afraid they'd be mistaken for street walkers! We warmed up in the 3-D theater and by the fire pit. Miss Ruby's favorite part of the night was her costume; Miss Sapphire's was the marshmallows! We were reminded of Mary Clare's first trip to Boo at the Zoo in 2005 when she was still dealing with oral aversion and instead of actually eating candy spent the night walking around picking up the used candy wrappers. Things had changed by 2006 when she couldn't wait to get back to the car with her haul and declared loudly, "Let's eat da chocat!"
