My OLDEST *COULD* DRIVE A CAR TODAY!

OH MY!!!!!! Well, it isn't happening yet. Apparently I was unaware of the fact that in our lovely state of AR, you can drive with someone 21 and older at the ripe YOUNG age of 14. YIKES!!!!!! I got my learners permit in the state of NJ at age 16 and drove by myself by my 17h birthday. ANYWAY, today is my oldest daughter's birthday. She is 14 (gulp)! My head is spinning. Things have changed in the last year ... She is nearly my size (almost 5'5") She wears the same size shoe as me (practically) She has a few extra curves ... don't EVEN want to go there ((((SIGH)))).

Barnes and Noble FLUFF and STUFF

My little one ... the 4 year old, loves to go to the bookstore. It never fails that she finds her way to the train table to play and then to those "oh so well written books" (NOT!). It really frustrates me that these type of books are displayed to attract the young ones. I even had to resort to reading a few of these "intelligent" (NOT!) books for girls. This was my daughter's favorite. You gotta love a story with characters named Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie . You just know that something with a great moral with arise from this story (NOT!). THANKFULLY, I am a strong mommy. One that doesn't cave into these books. Sure, I will read them, but we do have a rule that I will NOT BUY THEM! We go to the LIBRARY for that ... 'ya know, the FREE STUFF ;)

My husband is SO TALENTED!

Just look at those trees!
