The Carson and Barnes circus, that is. Barnum and Bailey it isn’t — but to me, that’s a good thing.
I was never really crazy about circuses. It may be because I still remember going to a Shriner’s circus when I was little, and seeing a man fall off the high-wire. It wasn’t […]

This cartoon was posted in a thread on the DFW Area Moms forum today.  I don’t know who drew it, but it’s so perfect for us that we may post it permanently on the sidebar of our blog:

My brother decided to surprise us with a big present to make up for Christmas and birthday presents that he’s missed in the past: boy were we surprised!
