An Important Jon & Kate Update!

I decided that it was time to catch up on the comings and goings of my favorite family, the Gosselins. So here’s an update on the latest Jon and Kate news.
On Monday’s episode of “Jon & Kate Plus 8,” Kate took the three little girls on a special trip to Florida. First they visited Butterfly World, where the kids got to see and play with hundreds of pretty butterflies.
Earlier this month Kate went on the “Today” show and announced that Jon had taken $230,000 out of their joint bank account, leaving her with only $1,000 to pay their bills.
At Butterfly World, the girls were befriended by one particular butterfly that they decided to name Black Velvet. Alexis was disappointed that they could not bring it home.
Jon denied removing a large sum of money from their bank account, but a judge ruled in court last week that he must return $180,000 to the account by October 26. The same judge also ordered that Kate must account for the $55,000 in bills that she supposedly has paid out.
Back at their home, Jon and the three boys bought a toy water-propelled bottle rocket, and after a few problems assembling it, managed to successfully shoot the rocket far into the sky many times.
Back in court the judge also ruled that Kate must respond to Jon’s allegations that she had misappropriated family-earmarked money from her book sales, and that she must do so by that same October 26 date.
Meanwhile it turns out that Butterfly World also has a bird sanctuary for abandoned macaws that have outlived their owners. While feeding these colorful birds Kate was bitten by one, but she just laughed it off. Later she joked that she wanted to pose holding eight birds instead of three, so she could “feel complete.”
Now remember that totally coincidentally, after TLC had bounced Jon from the show and renamed it “Kate Plus 8,” (scheduled to air beginning November 2), Jon had an epiphany and asserted his right to ban TLC’s camera crew from filming his kids.
Since the rocket launches were so successful, Jon led the boys and the older twin girls in a frolicking water balloon fight that everyone enjoyed.
TLC recently announced that they are going to sue Jon for breach of contract in response to his efforts to block any further taping of his family.
Kate and the girls visited the Bug Zoo, which the kids loved, playing with all kinds of creepy crawlers, while poor Kate was completely grossed out, but since this is the new and improved Kate, she laughed as she escaped through the fire exit.
TLC has further announced that they have suspended the “Kate Plus 8” show concept, and for now no further new shows involving the Gosselin family are planned.
In a very touching scene, Jon taught his boys how to swing a baseball bat while reminiscing in a “Field of Dreams” way about learning to play baseball from his father. And it turns out that one of the twins, Cara, has a real aptitude for hitting a baseball.
Kate has said that the kids have all been crying since the film crews have left, and she has pointed out that the Gosselins rely on income from the television show, which now has been canceled.
The girls and Kate went on a hot air balloon ride, or as one of the girls cutely announced, they were “Going in an air hot, air hot balloon.” Kate had trouble getting into the balloon because she was wearing high heels and the heat from the hot air made everyone sweat. But they drank lots of water and the view of the Florida countryside from the balloon was amazing, so the venture was worth it.
Finally, word is out that when a clip of Jon and Kate was shown at the Reality TV version of the Emmys, the audience actually booed poor Jon and Kate.
I can’t imagine why.
