We're all about hands in the pockets, on the shopping cart, on the car etc.<br /><br />Have you seen those magnets with a hand print that you put on your car so the kids stay right there with their hand on the hand print while you load the groceries in or tend to the other kid etc? Mine know to put their hands on the car, but that magnet's a good idea as well.Ribbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01460673212389110633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-5632342691882277142009-06-30T23:20:30.820-04:002009-06-30T23:20:30.820-04:00JenGC. don't say things like that! :) We had...JenGC. don't say things like that! :) We had a run with a bunch of scorpions in the house once.

Sometimes it's hard to get a good look at the belly so it's possible that other shiny black spiders have perished in error but I do try to positively ID them first. I've found enough of them over the years that it doesn't cause me quite as much panic as they used to.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13306754150860679811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-2703809971983579962009-06-29T22:59:02.092-04:002009-06-29T22:59:02.092-04:00Hi Mom.

The boy told us about the film after he had the dream that his grandfather called the police to take his sister away because she was eating popcorn kernels and they gave him a balloon to make him feel better but it wouldn't fly. He asked for the dream catcher the next morning.<br /><br />We did have a talk about how some bad dreams can make it through, but they'll always teach him something like don't let the girl eat popcorn kernels.<br /><br />Bad dreams may be difficult to contend with. Monsters are easy. Put a fake label on some Febreeze and you have instant Monster Spray.Ribbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01460673212389110633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-70528241869428324132009-06-29T22:54:00.529-04:002009-06-29T22:54:00.529-04:00Shawn Ann and sb158, I know!
