Little Sweetie! Thanks for popping over. I clicked on the link you left with your comment (to come and add you to my reader), but it didn't work. I Had to go searching for you, but you are worth it :) (you left out "family" when you typed it) Have a great week!
Reminds me of the intro to the Jetsons... Tonight, while walking into church, I spotted some coins in the parking lot. I suggested that Kate pick them up and we would give them to the contribution... she did, but quickly dropped them... they were H-O-T! Yeah, it was 94 degrees here today!

Hee.. just found you via a comment at Maternal Mirth! I didn't realize that you have a The Boy too.
Are we gonna have to throw down for the naming rights? :-)
Have you ever seen quarters in a fountain and thought about fishing enough out to get yourself an Oreo blizzard at the Dairy Queen? Yeah....me neither.
I love random things that kids say. It's nice to know that they keep it up as they get older. My nearly three year old cracks me up constantly. (yesterday, for example, he relayed a story to his grandmother that a polar bear "ate him all gone.")
(Really, I don't know. i was trying to sound jolly.)

Ahh, a young man wise beyond his years and with The Knowledge on how to work his mummy by the sounds of it! I love those cute little snippets. You try to write them down or remember as many as possible but there are just so many.
Well, you could always take him up on his "quarter offer" and then you've gone full circle and kept the money in the family. I think that was his plan the entire time.
LOL!! That's all I can say... LOL... I'm about to patrol around your blog to see if you have a subscribe thing. If you're this funny then I MUST read you everyday.
My friend, Melissa , recently wrote this post , expressing her frustration with the small circle of bloggers who seem to be getting all the perks. I read it and left a lengthy comment, then realized I had even more to say. So, here it goes. I have been feeling some stress and increasing negativity in bloggyland lately. Unrest among the masses regarding PR, "A List" (whatever that is) Mommy Bloggers, the lack of money in blogging, etc. I've personally considered withdrawing completely and have spoken to a few other bloggers who are also feeling somewhat "disenchanted" with blogging as of late. It seems to have lost its luster. Here is how I see it: You begin blogging for fun. For connections. For camaraderie. You get a few followers and comments. You want more. You begin to see others talking about the free stroller or set of books. You want that too. Then you hear that some are getting to travel, meet with PR firms, speak at conferences. That sounds fun. You won
It just dawned on me that I have had some super exciting news that I haven't officially shared! You all know how I feel about the importance of optimism and resiliency in the successes I've had in my life and how important it is to pass those on to my son. Did you know my company is named "Bright Future Managment"? Doesn't get more optimistic than that! A few months ago, I was contacted by a PR firm representing Pepperidge Farm. They were interested in interviewing me for a faculty position for Fishful Thinking , an initiative that offers parents tools for fostering optimism in kids. Now, as the director of one of LA's largest and oldest private summer camps, I get contacted to participate in all kinds of things for kids... usually, I pass, as I want to spend all my free time with my boys. But in this case, the message and the presentation was so incredible, I jumped at the chance and agreed to the interview. Within the first 5 minutes of the interview I wa
So facebook seems like a great idea right? Are you aware it can be used by your enemies? It can. Like the my arch enemy. We will call her "Sue". Sue is one of those people who you seem to always cross paths with. One of those people who has always been, well, jealous of your life. And, in love with your husband. We recently attended a party. She was there. With her camera. And, a sole purpose to take as many bad pictures of me as possible. After calling my name and taking a very close photo of my surprised face, she said, "These are going up on facebook." Then proceeded to snap away at me all night. To the point that my husband even noticed. The pictures of course, ended up all over her facebook page. The worst pictures ever. Like in the midst of laughing with eyes half shut and double chin pictures. She of course tagged me. I untagged. She tagged again. Really? I thought of the perfect revenge. Tonight, and for all the nights after that, I am going to sleep with m

Very cute post :)
My daughter once tried to climb into a wishing pool to get all of the coins. Smart kids :)
