A Handy Place to Keep Your Spare Change

Do you need a handy place to keep your spare change? Fret no longer. Braden came up with a handy little place convenient for everyone: your car's cd/cassette player. Now, this may seem obvious to a two year old, but not to his mother. However, after our car stereo shorted out I discovered a penny in the cd player about a week ago, and then today at least a dollar's worth of change in the cassette player...yes, that's right. And I'm not talking quarter's here.


What? No, of course I don't want to send him far, far away...

Just Teasing. This is just another day/another adventure at our house. I think I'm just learning what it means to have a boy: objects flushed down the toilet, messy food, messy house, digging in the dirt, sticking toys in holes (any hole will do)...or maybe that's just what it means to have my Braden.

He truly is such a good little boy at heart--he's so happy, loves life, loves to play, be with his family and friends and I love that about him. I love him to pieces.

Now, Brinley, on the other hand, is my save-the-drama-for-yo-mama queen. Everything is life or death with her, but oh my word she is sweet to the tips of her fingers and toes. She will hug and kiss on you all day long if you'd like.

I think the most important lesson I've learned from having kids is that you can never own nice things. Honestly. Goodbye new furniture, new clothes, new cars...I'm shopping strictly at consignment stores and used dealerships from now on because it will just get something shoved or jabbed in it that just shouldn't be.

I should be nominated for mother of the year for being so nice about my children today. I think it's just one of those days...

Tomorrow my goal is: Write nice things in the blog...
