Day: July 31, 2008

To just say, wow! Your stories in the comments are great!! I am loving all of the Christmas traditions (and getting some good ideas for my own family), and the sleep-deprived moments are making me spew coffee through my nose (always a good sign)! Thank you so much for sharing such great parts of your life with me (and everyone else entering these giveaways).

In other Casa de Crazy news, AFM has had three straight days of eating, eating and more eating. Seriously, all the eating can’t be adequately described. But we did go to the doc’s on Monday and he’s just shy of 11lbs at 1 month old! He’s also grown 3.5 inches since birth, so it’s not like he hasn’t been busy. He has currently had a very sleepy day, I think if I put a tape measure next to him we could probably literally see him grow!!

We are also gearing up for MAM’s 3rd birthday this weekend–we have immediate family plans this weekend, and a splashing soiree up north next weekend. I’ve just ordered a pink booster seat for her highness, partially because it’s getting to be a tight squeeze for her, and partially because I want her transitioned out of her 5-point seat before her brother needs it (which, at the rate he’s going, could be any minute now!).

I think that’s it for the moment…..back to entering more giveaways!

**THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED! STAY TUNED FOR WINNERS!**
Can you believe it’s day 4 of Bloggy Giveaways already? Are your eyes burning? Family begging for some attention? The house falling down around you? Do you care? No! You’re entering for cool free stuff. I understand completely.

As promised, today’s giveaway is for the lovers of Suess. We are big fans of Dr. Suess at our house–one of MAM’s first favorite books was “Hop on Pop”. Since then, we’ve moved on to “Green Eggs and Ham”, “One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish” and “The Cat in the Hat”.

Today’s Hallmark Keepsake Ornament features the beloved Horton, and the story, “Horton Hears a Who”.

To enter, please leave one comment, telling me your favorite (or your child’s favorite) Suess story. You can get a second entry by mentioning and linking today’s giveaway to your blog. You don’t need to be a blogger to win, just a US or Canada reader with a valid email address left in said comment.

Tomorrow I’ll feature the ornament I really,really, really want to keep for myself!
