I would love to win this for my older boys. Yes even Hanna Montana…It would make for a great joke gift for them. I’m cruel like that and we always tell them we’d be glad to buy them a girl toy of some kind. For some rea­son they aren’t falling for it.

I can’t believe that I’ve been gone for a week from my blog.  I’m in the midst of trying to finish some big wri­ting pro­jects for my Master’s clas­ses, so I’m fee­ling a bit distracted.

I recently recei­ved a fan­tas­tic for­war­ded pic­ture.  Today, I’ll share it with you.

As a remin­der, you should always check you child’s home­work.  The image is inten­ded to show a mom who works at Home Depot selling sho­vels. This is an actual child’s dra­wing.
