I watch the Duggers. There, I said it and I think admitting it is key. Confession number two...I'm also reading their book. I think I might be a Dugger stalker. Anyhow, I got this idea from their book. Because honestly, I need all the practical parenting advice I can get. All they have to do is say "okay Momma" when I tell them to do something and they get a sticker. At the end of the month they will get a penny for every sticker earned. The "okay Mommas" are suddenly coming out of the woodwork; they're even saying it when they don't really need to. Who knew pennies could be such a motivator.
P.S. I think Jaydie may have passed on his finger issue to Nolie. We're gonna need a whole other chart for that.
Ever since the "puppy" horror (click on puppy to see photographic evidence) of 2008, we hadn't felt brave enough to go see the poppies. See, Nolan was convinced that we were going to see actual puppies. Much to his surprise there were just a bunch of orange flowers and weeds that got stuck in his flip flops (because I wanted to see how hard I could make it on myself). He did not hide his disappointment/bitterness well and you can see it on his face. This year was our year though, and they did not disappoint (although my pictures kind of did). All three boys were very happy with the puppies this year and we didn't see any snakes. So that's a praise!!
