On another note, I have a little story about being "taken over".
On Halloween night, Keith and Ella were walking around and they saw spotlights in the sky in the distance. Keith told Ella they were aliens. When they got to the last house, which happened to be our neighbors, she walked up to the door, threw both hands in front of her and in all seriousness exclaimed...
"I am not here for candy! I am here to tell you that there are aliens coming! Do you see those lights in the sky? Those are aliens!
The neighbors apparently looked at her like she was crazy. You'd think they would humor her....but that didn't happen. Later, she proceeded to tell my mom that she saw little green men take a man and his puppy away. Her imagination is endless.

That is the cutest story ever.
ReplyDeleteElla has quite the sense of humor. Love the story.
ReplyDeletethose silly neighbors and their lack of humor. love the ladybug shot.
ReplyDeleteLove the ladybug picture, and that's such a cute story.
ReplyDeleteIt's a cute ladybug picture. But I really like your story. I'm sorry the neighbors didn't play along, around here she would fit right in. :) Imagination is a wonderful and priceless ability to have.
ReplyDeleteGreat story! She has a wonderful imagination, too bad the neighbors didn't play along.
ReplyDeleteLove her imagination. I like to tell Francesco a story and leave out the ending and ask him what he thinks happens. I crack up at some of the things he comes up with.
ReplyDeleteThe aliens?! OMG, that is too funny. Especially imagining her deadpan delivery.
ReplyDeleteAnd I must say, your attitude towards the ladybugs is much gentler than some I've heard. I have friends in PA who've been invaded by the little buggers, they literally coat the walls inside and out. I've always liked ladybugs, but that would be too much of a good thing.
Anyway, thegreen and red in that shot makes it look Christmas-y!
what the heck?! Okay, sorry about the multi-comments...I have no idea what happened!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot of the little visitor. I just love the colors.
ReplyDeleteAnd that is awesome that she told the neighbors about the aliens. Too bad they didn't play along!
Do the neighbors have kids?? I mean, come on - that is awesomeness and they didn't even play along?!
ReplyDeleteI love the shot. We have a "pet" boxelder bug. I swear it is the same one that ends up in our lamp each night by J. He'll get up and release it into the courtyard and then we wait to see him the next night! It is kinda funny!
Have the asian beetles and box elders settled in for the winter? ;) I just love seeing those little beetles crawling all over the place.
ReplyDeleteAnd poo-poo on the neighbor that wasn't going to play along. Some people just don't know how to humor kids.
So cute! What an imagination. I have such good memories of playing with ladybugs when i was a kid...I LOVED them!
