I CHALLENGE YOU
I have been reading a lot of blogs recently of people who are having a rough time lately. Whether it is an illness, winter blues, a bad day, a crummy job, teenager troubles, toddler troubles, we all seem to blog for very similar reasons- community, support, friendships, maybe to see that our day isn't as bad as we thought, our kids aren't the only nutty ones around. Well, I decided that what we all need is a fun game, so I challenge all of you to join in. Just think, if we all jump in on this, just let go and enjoy life, enjoy living, enjoy all the things that we are blessed with, including the community we have created and the support we have all given each other- just think how big this could become. This could be really FUN- now jump in...

Thanks!!! Today, I am so going to remember my inner child. All day long. I heading outside to eat some white snow before it melts. It is a whopping 45 degrees today. Oh, the warmth!!!
Great idea.. I will be picking my things.. but my camera has been stolen by the toddler bandit!
What a great idea. I can't participate in any of the snow ones (poor me), but maybe a few of the others - cool!
Have a good day - You are so fun and always so happy - I truly enjoy being your friend. Take care - Kellan
