When my daughter isn't wearing them or forgetting about them in a box, she takes them out and plays with them like they're toys.<br /><br />I wonder how long the trend will last. Now I know I can decorate a lampshade when my daughter is over them.

I have to say that S and S's brother didn't want to have anything to do with the initial trade when you were here but it wasn't hardly even 2 hours after you left that he was asking the girls if he could wear some! The next day he had come home from school wearing a couple of new ones that he had traded with a buddy! So funny! So B may want to be in on a future trade sometime....mom4acurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07701682035324528643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8449147139519589668.post-24741748841177554942010-08-29T00:35:20.875-05:002010-08-29T00:35:20.875-05:00Looks like I'm not the only person who thinks ...Looks like I'm not the only person who thinks the red one looks like a slice of pizza with a bite taken out.
