Wiggity Wiggity Wednesday
Wednesday, November 14, 2007 at 11:46AM Shelly's event went so well last night. Jason and I made a little date night out of it, and had lots of fun. Plus Miss Shelly raised almost $8000 for Brighton! Let's hear it for drinking margaritas for charity people. That's what I'm talking about.
My sweet mom went on a shopping spree for the girls. This was right BEFORE we found out that China likes to bake up poison and feed it to children. So, I've been staring at Killer Doras for WEEKS. Does anyone out there know where I am supposed to send the Magical Biohazardous Castle? And while I'm at it, I would like to urge everyone out there to please boycott the toy industry as much as possible this Christmas. Seriously. You know kids only play with the boxes anyway. And if you need ideas for non-toxic holiday shopping for kids, what about a trampoline, or bike, video games, books, clothes, trips to go DO something, pets...hmm...any other ideas? Post them in the comments. Let's brainstorm for ways not to kill our kids at Christmas. And while we're at it, let's think outside the box for adults too. Like Etsy. If you're like me, and the mall gives you hives, this is the best online place to find all things handmade. Plus you get to support a real human with a soul who put thought and time and effort into your purchase. Yeah? Yeah.
Just say no to China.
Next, another gift from my mom (she is thoughtful like that) after she watched the Oprah about sneaking vegetables into your kids food. I think this is brilliant, and much better than sneaking lead into their dollhouses. As soon as I learn how to turn my oven on, I'm totally going to do this.
And in the spirit of missing my mom, I will share a little card I made for her last week. You know Thanksgiving has a way of making the chairs at the table seem a little emptier. I'm counting down until Christmas when she and my sister will finally be here.
Okay, I need to get back to work. The minutes all have assignments. And I need to finish my chores before I get to go play at Girls' Night Out tonight. Well, it's actually girls night in at Michelle's. We're ordering sushi, and that sounds GOOD TO ME. I might even bring my camera tonight girls, so get out of your sweats and wash your hair! :0)

So yeah, saying no to China is an understatement.
Hope your day is peaceful.
And thanks a TON for the shout-out! I'm honoured!
and I think they will like what they get so much more. My gosh, they still have birthday presents that are still in their wrappers!
I like video games, books, a trip to Build a Bear Workshop, a date with mom or dad. And for adults that have everything, I went to Botanical Paperworks online and bought plantable calenders designed by Kal...love them. And love it that they become flowers later.
