Birthday Boy!

Thirteen years ago today, Jim and I headed to the hospital for our first induction.  It was my longest labor, and at 5:57 PM we welcomed our biggest baby.  Chad has spent the last thirteen years continuing to do things his own way!  We love him, and have loved being a part of his life.  He is an incredibly happy kid, and makes friends with everyone.

Television, and what it teaches a 6 year old!

As most of you know I care for two children that are not my own. Carlie is six, and a very bright little girl.

As part of my "job" I pick her up from school pretty regularly. This was the first week back to school and on Wednesday, I picked her up. As we started pulling out of the carpool line she started to tell me how I could send in my jewelry and they would melt it down and send me A LOT of money! This brought a smile to my face, and I then I thought we would talk about how you can't always believe everything you see on tv. At that suggestion she let me know that she believes everything she sees on tv.

"I beleive in Santa Claus, I saw him on Frosty the Snowman"
(I just assumed she also believed in a real live snowman.)

I believe in Cash for Gold, AND I believe in No more tweezing and no more waxing!"

And after she told me all about the above product, I told her I thought she watched too much tv.
