My Animal Kingdom

So...I don't know if I've ever posted about this before, but every day, when Daddy comes home from work, the girlies hide somewhere in the house and try to suprise-greet him.

It's the cutest routine in the world, made infinitely cuter tonight by the long-awaited arrival of Chicklet's backordered Halloween costume.

Naturally, Chica busted hers out, too, and my black leopard cheetah (Chica's official description of her animal self) and giraffe made it a safari greeting for Daddy.

Here they are, adorably lying in wait...

And going in for the "kill"...

In case I couldn't tell, Chicklet dug her costume, since this was her reaction when I said she had to take it off for dinner:

But first, some hilarious growl faces (because, apparently, this giraffe is gonna growl)...

And, naturally, some prowling and sizing one another up...

And a bonus shot of my beautiful boy during our early evening walk...

Happy Tuesday, peeps!
