The truth is, both stories are equally entertaining. I love looking back on our childhood and remembering how sweet and innocent we once were, and how trusting we were of our parents. It was fun being a kid, but it is even more fun being the adult--I LOVE when we not so much "pull one over" on our kids, like with the Tooth Fairy or Santa, but seeing the joy and delight we see in their faces is worth all the planning and last-minute saves!
With that said, I am dubbing both Michelle and Jenny both winners. :) I'll be contacting both of you regarding your giveway prizes--thanks for posting, and I hope you love the new stationery.
Phew. This weekend is going to be a busy one! My darling husband Tom's parents are coming over for brunch tomorrow morning. I am making a ham and cheddar frittata, old fashioned biscuits and gravy, homemade sticky buns, and throwing together some fresh fruit. I'll post some recipes up on Monday in case any of you are interested--the gravy is my husband's absolute favorite, and the sticky buns are to die for--and super easy!!
Sunday, the kids are going over to Tom's parents while he and I volunteer at the St. Paul, Minneapolis Bulldog Club's booth at the Pet Expo in downtown Minneapolis. Tom and I are MAJOR bulldog enthusiasts, are members of the Club, and actively show one of our two current bulldogs, Violet (Rheingold Branabulls Violets R Blue).
She is the biggest sweetie ever, and the most exciting thing about this weekend is that hopefully on Sunday we will be bringing home bulldog #3: our newest show dog, Phineus (Rheingold Branabulls Mr. G's Big Boy)--who is out of Cooper (Ch. Silverspoon's Nothing Personal), currently the number one bulldog in the country. (Cooper won best of breed at the Eukanuba Cup, right before Westminster, and he is one handsome, HANDSOME man!) Phin's mama, Mazie (Ch. Reingold Just Amazing), is also a champion, a total lover, and a beauty queen, as well.
Hopefully our little Phin will be walking in his parents' pawsteps! Enough about bulldogs, though I just can't help gushing about them....check out my other blog, thecharmingbulldog.typepad.com, if you are interested in all things bulldog. Otherwise, keep hanging out here at Urban Sweetpea for stuff that just makes life come together: time with family and friends, the joys our children bring us, great recipes and crafts, and learning how to enjoy the simple things in life.....have a great weekend!
