If you can’t use your kids for self-serving propaganda, what can you use them for?…

Two things I need to mention:
- To Katie: thank you for the tank top. You rock.
- To the rest of you: no, I have absolutely no idea where she learned to stand like that. It certainly wasn’t from me.
I went to high school with the mom and dad of this ridiculously beautiful 2-year-old:

Who would have guessed back then that they would end up getting married…?
And end up having such a wonderfully sweet little girl.










I’m sure glad they did.
Most evenings before going to bed, I step out onto our front porch to check for any toys that may have been left there by my kids.
And I almost always find something that’s been carefully arranged by my 4-year-old: a semi-circle of half-dressed Barbies, a surgeon-style layout of 300 hair clippies, or a Polly Pocket conga line.
This time it was a precariously balanced horse stable arrangement.
Whatever I find usually makes me smile.
It’s a good way to end my evenings.
Oh the stalling…

The stall-stall-stalling…

I think she won this time around.
