Takin' it to the streets...the Cincinnati Tea Party

















On Sunday, March 15th Cincinnati had one of the largest tea parties in the nation to date. There were over 5,000 gathered who are concerned over the direction the Obama adminstration is taking the country (straight to the hard left) and its complete disregard of the Constitution. Brad and I brought the kids and were comforted to know so many others feel the way we do. I even got a "Socialism doesn't work" bumper sticker for the van. Brad couldn't believe I put it on but I've gotten quite a few thumbs up directed my way. I thought you would enjoy some of the more creative signs. We are going to the next tea party on Tax Day, April 15th. I think we are going to have to put a little more effort into our signs this time! There are tea parties scheduled all over the country on 4/15. Hopefully the politicians will hear the will of The People and actually listen. I'm not too optimistic.

Jack lost 2 teeth! ... with a little help from the dentist

Jack went to the dentist to have his teeth cleaned and to look at the permanent tooth that was coming in behind his bottom baby tooth...that was not loose! (sound familar? Reagan) Jack was very brave when the dentist announced that two teeth needed to be pulled. He said they could do it right now and Jack agreed. They came out pretty easily as the roots were pretty small. Jack put only one tooth under his pillow that night and the tooth fairy did come. He left the other tooth in its container from the dentist on his dresser for over a month. A couple of nights ago he secretly put it on his bed for the tooth fairy. To his disappointment, the tooth fairy did not come. I explained that the tooth fairy probably did not know he wanted to give it to her because it was still in the case from the dentist that has been sitting in for a month on his dresser. Wouldn't you know, the next night he put it in our tooth fairy container and she came!!!
