She's huge, Clod! In my mind's eye she's still just crawling.

Heh... she's actually quite small for her age. She'll turn five in April, starts Kindergarten in less than a year.

You have to admit there are some crazy folks on this site, but they sure do produce great kids!

Very cute. She looks so elfin, I almost expected to see pointed ears.

My son and I went over to Arlington National Cemetery this morning to help lay wreaths at the graves. I was happy to see the thousands of volunteers who turned out to help.
You're supposed to take your time and read each stone as you are placing the wreath. Take a moment to straighten the bow and make it look nice. We only placed about ten each because there were so many people there to help, but it was a good experience. Each year they expand the program, but still haven't raised enough funds to place a wreath on each grave. I'd guess we ran out of wreaths when half the cemetery was covered. Those sections looked nice when we were done though. |

That's a nice action (and a good photo) but I'd rather see the resources diverted to VA. Go and help people like Buster fix his sink, and make sure Big Sarge's meds arrive on time.
Thank you, though.

I can't disagree with you, Zen. There is a lot of need out there. An individual volunteer, or even charitable organization, can't do it all. In fact, I think if you look at all the need out there and try to detrmine the best place to help out, you can become overwhelmed and not help at all. But when little opportunities like this come up, it's worthwhile to join in. Like Clodfobble's decorated highway, this will lift the spirits of the people who see it, and it gets my kid in the habit of helping out. And it's a small enough job that you can see what you accomplished. It's also the kind of thing a kid can do.

I don't think you need to defend what you did, Glatt. As I said, we have the resources in this country to do both, that was what you could do and made sense for you to do. It's important to honor the dead AND take care of the living.

They were taking photos at Minifobette's therapy clinic for a little Christmas ornament craft. To get a natural smile on each kid, they were being silly and making faces. Except Minifobette is keenly aware that therapy is serious business and she is 100% compliant. So she promptly did what she thought she was being told to do.
