My Mom gave my 8 year old brother a blank check to buy my Christmas present. (There are 8 kids so we draw one name and get something nice.) Little bro knew I wanted a ring and so he went and got the most expensive ring at the jewelry store. I opened it and about died (as did my parents) and we're still not quite sure how the lady at the store let an 8 year old write a check for $350!!laurwilkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06008662086221324656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36379445.post-65244291214975569212007-02-16T23:06:00.000-05:002007-02-16T23:06:00.000-05:00Have fun on your trip!

The trip to Europe, sailing in the Carribean...I like that she can do these things. I would have loved to do stuff like that when I was a kid, so I am glad that she can. As long as she doesn't give me any lip...lol.<BR/><BR/>Brookem - Yea, I sort of question the store, but I don't know exactly how it went down, so I can't say for sure.<BR/><BR/>K.d. - I am a willing cook. Good is another question.<BR/><BR/>Ella - She is really, really smart. And not just because she gets all A's. She is extremeley perseptive beyond her years.<BR/><BR/>Jordan - A lot of her friends do have cards (they don't use them much) so he very well may have.<BR/><BR/>Cat - A good point, and the cold won't help that;-)<BR/><BR/>SHR - I like the way you think...Accidentally Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01869100744451468800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36379445.post-18935982954505506852007-02-16T13:46:00.000-05:002007-02-16T13:46:00.000-05:00That little punk better not think buying fancy gif...That little punk better not think buying fancy gifts gives him the right to be fresh with my Munchkin.

In some ways, Munchkin has the best of both worlds: she has been without the advantages of an elite private school and seen how the world really is yet now she has those advantages (like this ski trip). You're smart to keep her involved in community activities.<BR/><BR/>I hope you guys have a splendid weekend!Allyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01816929643644946388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36379445.post-55827985772605960922007-02-16T09:30:00.000-05:002007-02-16T09:30:00.000-05:00sounds like fun!good luck!sounds like fun!<BR/><BR/>good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36379445.post-17320193701419652522007-02-16T09:21:00.000-05:002007-02-16T09:21:00.000-05:00Have fun.
