Party Captions by Chloe and Amber

 Chloe: We had such a wonderful time at the birthday party for baby Sophia on Saturday!  Her mommy, Miss Brenda, had games and toys and tons of snacks.  It was really terrific!

Amber: It sure was -- did you see the tower of desserts?

Chloe: I was busy with the water slide.

Amber: Yeah, it was all super cool.  Read on for some of our captions from our favorite photos of the day.

 "Love Spurned"

Amber: I love this kid.  That is why I chased him around the party and showed my affection in the best possible way: I offered him yummy things to eat.  He spurned my hot dog, my cupcake and my juice box.  I will fight the desire to dive into a bowl of Ben & Jerry's and turn on a chick flick.

 "Slip-Slidin' Away"

Chloe: This was freakin' awesome.  I want one of these down our stairs at home.

 "Bold Move"

Chloe: I.am.going.to.get.Daddy.

 "Don't You Do It"

Chloe: Watch me.

 "Oh, it's On."

Mommy: Chloe, RUN.

"Too Late."

Chloe's Dance Class from Amber's Perspective

  Amber: Last week, I went with Mommy to Chloe's dance class. I am a wonderful dancer, but they wouldn't let me in.  So, I stood at the door and screamed, "CHLO-CHLO!" and let Mommy take these silly pictures.

 Finally!  I was allowed in just to "watch."  But, I couldn't contain myself!

 Have to dance!

 Chloe was dancing with feathers and she was nice enough to share one with me.

 They didn't give me a sticker afterward, though, which is ass.

But, I had fun anyway.

What a Fun Weekend!

 Amber: Wow, we were busy this weekend!

Chloe: We were!  We finally got to meet Uncle Min and his fiance, Jin.

Amber: It was funny how you thought we were meeting Beyonce because you didn't understand the word, "fiance."  Mommy and I laughed about that for hours.

Chloe (glares): ANYWAY...

 Chloe: ...it was a lot of fun - we went with them for brunch and then Mommy and I went to the Mud Room and painted pottery, which was SO cool.

Amber: Where was I?

Chloe: Napping with Daddy.

Amber (musing): Ah.  I do adore a good nap.

Chloe: Yeah, well, Mommy painted a duck for you since you didn't come with us.

Amber: A duck!  So thoughtful!  

Chloe: Yeah, then we got to go visit Mom-Mom and Pop-Pop while Mommy and Daddy went out for dinner with Min and Jin again.

Amber: I love the rhyming.  They should totally have a comedy hour.

Chloe: Sure. ANYWAY... we got yummy food with M-M and P-P and played games and watched Tangled.  It was so cool!

 Amber: And then yesterday, we got to go to the pool!  I love the pool!!

 Chloe: I can tell by the way you are screaming in Aunt Patty's face.

Amber: Well, I don't like it when they sneak up behind us and steal us from our mother.

Chloe: They said she only has two hands or something.

Amber: Yeah.  And two kids - you do the math - it's fine!

Chloe: I noticed you were fine with it if they provided you a pop.

Amber: That's different.

QUACK

 Amber: Ducks are the best animals ev-ah.  In fact, when I see any bird, I quack at it because I know it wishes that it were a duck.  I love tiny rubber duckies for the bath tub, my big Duck that Mommy got at the Please Touch Museum and now I love my water play cover up which allows me to BE.A.DUCK.

Awesome.

This is SO ME that Princess doesn't even try to steal it.  It just screams, "AMBER."

I rule.

 Amber: One thing I should mention is that unlike ducks, I cannot fly... which explains the shiner, scratched nose and bitten lip I sustained whilst* jumping on the bed.

Amber: QUACK!  QUACK!

***

Chloe: Whilst?

Amber: This is my post; I'll say what I want.  Besides, Mommy isn't the only literary one.

Back to the Beach!

 Chloe: Thanks to Aunt Diane and Uncle John for having us back at the beach last weekend - it was a great way to get ready for the 4th!

Amber: We had a great time.  I was angling for Racer 5 IPA behind me, but sadly, that didn't work out.

 Chloe: True, but we got to play a lot and eat yummy sandwiches from Aunt Diane and get ice cream...

 Amber: And nap.  Oh, I adore a good nap.

Amber: So relaxing.  It was a shame to go home, really.

Chloe: I agree.  That's why I waited until we pulled into our driveway to begin screaming and crying for my Diane.  Mondays suck.

Amber: Word.

New Dresses!

 Amber: Like we said last time, we got a bunch of new dresses last week at the beach.  

Chloe: Yup.  Mommy got us these red dresses.  I picked out the flag dress for myself and she got Elmo for you.

Amber: I simply adore Elmo.  He has such je ne sais quoi.

Chloe (stares): Sure.

Amber (nods, smiles).

 Chloe: Anyway, Aunt Diane also bought us each TWO new dresses!  We got a set that coordinates in hot pink and another set that coordinates in peach.

 Amber: Mommy said the other set is too fancy to wear to school, but she said we could wear these.  I am so happy!

 Chloe: Yeah, these outfits are rockin'.

Amber: I look freakin' hot with this bow.  Look out, sister, the Kit-Kat is coming to steal your crown. Oh, yeah, Princess.  BRING IT.  BRING IT.

Chloe: Dresses bring out an alarming side of you.

The Beach!

 Chloe: We had a great time last weekend at the beach with Mommy, Daddy, Aunt Diane and Uncle John!

Amber: We really did - I can't wait to go back!

 Amber: I'm going to eat more sand when no one is looking!

Chloe: Rebel.

Amber: I know.

 Chloe: We were lucky to go when we did because it was Skimmer Weekend in Sea Isle City.  They had cool inflatables for kids, lots of vendors (i.e. lots of new dresses) and a lot of neat stuff.

 Chloe: I made a sand sculpture dinosaur, "T-Rex Chloe."

 Amber: I liked wearing Mommy's sunglasses and dancing to the band.

 Amber: It was so much fun that I even fell asleep in the wagon!

 Chloe: We cleaned up and then spent some time on Aunt Diane's new deck. Daddy read us a Superman comic and then after dinner, we had to go to bed...

Amber:...So we could have more fun on Father's Day - we went out for breakfast, saw classic cars on the promenade, went to the arcade and played on the playground.

Chloe: So fun - I can't wait to go back!

Amber: Hey, off-topic, but did you hear that Mommy wrote a book about us?

Chloe: Yeah - she had better buy us some toys with the royalties.

Amber: That, or send us to college.
