Story

Lately Teigue and Stella have been taking pictures out of coloring books and coloring them together. As they color they make up a story about what is happening in the picture, usually needing to add other elements that the original artist of the piece had no idea should be included in the drawing. A picture of a digger needs a rocket ship? Why of course it does! The kids most always agree on what should be in the picture and go along with each other's idea. Today, however what a little different.

Today they were coloring a picture of a nice multi colored T-Rex. They both agreed that the T-Rex was fighting with someone, as those T-Rexes have been known to do. Perhaps a Stegosaurus would be appropriate? Ahh, no. An ankylosaurus? Guess again. corythosaurus? No. Teigue felt that a ninja should be included in the drawing, but Stella felt a princess was more appropriate. Ninja. Princess. Ninja. Princess. Finally they came to an agreement.
They both decided that both the ninja and princess could stay, as long as the ninja hid in the bushes and the princess also had a knight with her. Well, would a princess really fight a T-Rex, or would that be the job of the knight? Stella was fine with this, with one minor change.
They all had to hold hands. (From left, princess, knight, ninja)
