a continuing project

Kyla and I have decided that we don't spend enough mother daughter time together, so we came up with the idea of putting together a weekly list of things we want to do together.  3 things each is what we agreed upon.

Kyla's list consisted mainly of crafts, dress up, and doing our make-up.  I added doing our nails and "writing and coloring" a story.  We opted to start the first page of the story tonight.

Kyla has named me the author and her the illustrator, however the first page has been a joint effort for sure.

The idea of the story is 100% Kyla's and about 85% of the written words are hers as well.   Here is the beginning of our story - we will add to it as many days per week as possible.

This is a story about a butterfly that flew into a house.
The butterfly flew into the house because she wanted somewhere to live.
The house she picked was red, two story, had a basement and an attic and a lot of windows. There was also a fireplace in two rooms!
She didn't know who lived in the house when she picked it, but she found a pretty pink room that she loved.  The pink room had a window open, so she flew inside to see what else was in there.
The butterfly was so tired from flying and looking for a place to live, she decided to lay on a cute tiny bed in a pretty pink house in the big pink room.
