Busy

An itemized list detailing four hours in the lives of Curly Sue and Louisa the Blue....

Curly:

• snuggle mom on the couch
• make a valentines surprise for Ellie
• eat 1 bowl lucky charms
• get dressed
• eat 1 bowl blueberries while sitting on the kitchen floor
• inventory all mom's Nancy Drews
• unpack entire shirt drawer, throw all items over shoulder
• get dressed again
• make bed
• color paper hearts
• stuff them in an envelope for a variety of loved ones
• more beads
• finally go to the bathroom
• let your sister push all your buttons, lose all volume control and screech the word NEVER as many times as possible
• run around without underwear making crazy demands
• notice Shrek is playing, cheerily busy-foot it back to the bathroom for underwear and other necessities so you can watch too
• get your sister on board for a raid of the closet
• settle on two swimsuits and a cover up
• make a "beach out of blankets"
• yell "wahoo!" and daintily sit in the middle of your "ocean"
• swim
• snack
• rub a balloon all over your head, check out the halo it makes of your hair
• chase your sister around screaming because she won't trade balloons.  make it really fun
• have a balloon boxing match
• kick your sister and get sent to your room
• get released. wrap balloons up like babies in a blanket and settle in with them for a long, quiet movie

Blue:

• announce yourself as cowboy girl
• care for Beluga and Gray, they are two sick animals
• make yourself a necklace, sort of
• eat lucky charms
• eat two bowls of oatmeal and blueberries while crouching on the kitchen floor
• bathroom break
• attempt to get dressed.  the tights you want are not clean. 
• rush to the kitchen and collapse in agony in your underwear over the tights drama
• lock yourself in the bathroom as per same drama
• forget about it and brush your teeth instead
• semi-flood the bathroom
• sweetly emerge from your room in a shirt, pants, and skirt
• color some hearts
• lick the window
• find a stick in the living room (why is that there?) dance with it
• notice the stick makes your hand dirty, attempt to flood the bathroom again
• request a pink cookie
• get one
• climb into mom's bed, snuggle up with a cookie, look sweet, get crumbs everywhere
• harass your sister while she goes to the bathroom.  make several attempts to drive a truck that can't possibly fit in there, in there
• start watching Shrek the Third
• remember about your cookie you already finished, stress that it is "not in [your] mouth!" 
• try on several new pairs of panties and parade around in each of them
• settle on a pink tutu swimsuit, announce it's beach day!
• yell "wahoo" and actually cannonball into your "ocean".  don't show any sign that crashing flat-bottomed on a hard-wood floor was anything but delightful
• splash, swim and snack
• find balloons
• have a fun with them and then a fuss about them
• remember you wanted to watch Shrek
