But the Cat in the Hat never came....

That's right, they got up early. Sam was first at 5:10 am, an hour earlier than Claire. They had a bottle; they had breakfast. Dad went to work. Dad came home to get the laptop he forgot. Dad went back to work. There was a morning nap. There were good times. The family thought about going out, but the weather was tooooo cold. They waited for the cat in the hat to show up with some good tricks and some fun that is funny. But the cat never came. Lunch. Bottle. Played with Duplos. There was a new book from Ohio. "That's not my puppy his coat is toooooo furry." Sam beat up on the Bear some more. They had a cage match in the crib. Either Sam won, or the Bear was really good at rope-a-dope. There was an afternoon nap. Sam tried to climb the stairs, but he got scared on the fourth step. Claire was a little clingy in the afternoon. There was dinner. Dad came home. That was nice. The family went to Market Basket. It was fun at the grocery store, but the family was too poor to afford a jar of peanut butter. That was sad. Fortunately, the babies were too young to notice. At home there was another bottle. Sam wore a little red elf suit to bed. Claire wore yet another of Sam's blue hand-me-downs. It is her fate. Dad read the babies a Brothers Grimm story. The babies went off to sleep.
