Scared yet?

Sarah over at Trying to Grok wrote a post about things children do that have her worried. When you read all the stories you will laugh until you cry. Looks like mine are in good company! At least we know that there are some spirited, creative children out there to run the world in the future. The girls can come up with a solution to about anything (yes, most of it involves duct tape) so maybe they will be the one to develop a cure for cancer or some other deadly disease. Who knows!

I wouldn't trade Em, Abs or Junior for anything in the world, but I do look forward to a break every now and then!

The Carnival

The girls spent hours planning a carnival that they put on yesterday. They designed games, came up with prizes (toys they didn't want anymore), made tickets and setup. Abbie banged on a drum that Emily designed out of material and a bucket (I really should have taken pics)and yelled "Carnival" at the top of her little lungs. They had different stations setup and they had one person come and they made 10 cents. They were so disappointed (I got to play for free) but they haven't given up and when DH gets home they plan on trying again and this time making it bigger and better. I told them that they might make more money having a garage sale with their toys, but they decided that wouldn't be as much fun as a carnival.

They even have a box you can sit in and rest...

UPDATE:

I guess I must have missed it while they were planning, but they are raising money for the local non-kill animal shelter, Second Chance. When the puppies that their Oma and Opa have from their stray dog that they adopted are old enough, 4 of the 6 will go there and they want to make sure that they are well taken care of. Such good hearts.
