The T-Rex and The Ladybug

Once upon a time, there was a T-Rex and a Ladybug -- an unlikely pair, perhaps, but they loved each other very much and were great friends. In fact, they were brother and sister. Every day, the T-Rex and the Ladybug would dance and play games together, like peek-a-boo and hide and seek.

The T-Rex was fascinated with his tail. He found it incredibly funny that he actually had a tail and he enjoyed showing it off. The T-Rex also found the Ladybug's antenna hat very funny and every time she put it on her head, he laughed and laughed and laughed. When the T-Rex laughed, so did the Ladybug. She didn't realize he was laughing at her.


The T-Rex and the Ladybug couldn't wait to go to the Trunk or Treat event at church. They had been talking about it for quite some time. The T-Rex was excited about playing games and filling his bag with candy. The Ladybug just wanted to show off her cute antenna hat and black and red striped tights.

As they were preparing to leave for the festivities, the T-Rex said he could not put on his dinosaur outfit until he arrived at church because, "T-Rexes are too big for car seats." He was right. Car seats do not accomodate large spiky tails. Car seats also do not accomodate puffy ladybug tummies, so the Ladybug had to wait to put on her outfit as well.

Mom, please....I know I'm cute, but no more pictures, ok?

They arrived at Trunk or Treat just in time for the puppet show, which they both loved. The Ladybug squealed with delight, jumping and dancing to the music. The T-Rex watched intently as he viciously devoured a corn dog and chips.

Hey! I'm a T-Rex!

After dinner and the puppet show, the T-Rex and the Ladybug headed out to play games and collect candy. Actually, the T-Rex did all the playing....and the collecting, but the Ladybug had fun observing. She wanted desperately to participate, but enjoyed herself as a spectator, nonetheless. Next year, Ladybug. Next year.

That's right...I hang out with Batman.

At the end of the night, both the T-Rex and the Ladybug were exhausted. The T-Rex spent a long time in the jump castle and upon exiting, exclaimed, "I was getting sleepy in there!" Then, he looked at his mother, pointed his finger up and said, "I am almost finished." He waited for his turn once again, and went back into the jump castle for round two. T-Rexes love jump castles.

T-Rex had to get rid of his outfit as it would have hindered his jumping ability.

As he rode home, The T-Rex fought sleep and talked about the fun he had. "I had a lot of fun," he said. The Ladybug drifted off to dreamland in a matter of minutes. She was one tired bug.

It was a great night for The T-Rex and The Ladybug. They both had a wonderful time. Now....let's see what's in that candy bag!!! :)
