We went to the local Parks and Rec Haunted Hayride with our small people tonight. I'll post pics of our day today sometime tomorrow, but have a funny story about Bee. We stood in line to buy our tickets for the hayride and were on wagon #6. They hadn't even started wagon 1 yet, so we had a long wait. While we waited we played on the playground for awhile and then sat around the campfire they had going. As we sat, there was a woman dressed up as a witch, with purple hair, carrying a small vacuum cleaner, and topped off with the traditional black, pointy, hat! She walked up to Bee and "cast a spell" to turn her into a black cat when she wakes up in the morning. The witch walked away and we sat and enjoyed the fire. After about five minutes of thinking about it, Bee turns to me and says "Mommy, is she really a witch? Am I really gonna be a cat in the morning?" Since I'm the incredibly loving mother that I am, and because I never lie to my children, I very quickly responded, "Yes Bee, you will be a cat when you wake up in the morning, you better pick out a name for yourself while you can still talk." Her eyes got very big as she continued to watch the witch walk around the hay bales surrounding the fire while she "cast" various spells on the other children.
At first she was very upset about this. As the evening wore on, she seemed to become okay with it, and even excited about the prospect of becoming a black cat. Her name will be Black Midnight and her two best friends will be Tiger and Midnight, the two stray kittens that are always in our yard. She believes that once she is a cat, she will be able to convince the pair to come live in our house with us.
She made sure that I know her donut will have to be cut up into very small triangles for her to be able to eat it in the morning, and she has made sure that her brothers are willing to take her place on the soccer field since won't be able to kick the ball anymore!
She's gonna be disappointed when she doesn't wake up with a tail and the ability to purr in the morning!
