So, Laurel was setting the table for Sunday dinner. She wanted placemats AND she wanted to use the placemats from when they were kids. Yes, each of the kids had their own placemat - you know it was one of those things that they got to pick out and it saved on quarrels and proclaimed their SPOT at the table. We do interesting things as parents to keep the peace, don't we?
Well, anyway, Laurel declared we had a "problem"...Brian doesn't have a placemat!!! Apparently, we have a new way that people are declared an official member of the Cindy Swenson Family. So...do I have to let Brian "pick" out his placemat? Oh, how I wish that this was my only problem for the day!!!!

you don't have a placemat either...
Brandon has his own placemat now too. He took a black crayon and colored all over one of my brand new bamboo placemats! He also colored on the table, chair, door, floor and a little on the paper.
The placemat thing is actually a really great idea. I say yes, another placement is in order. In my house we have needlepoint stockings that my grandma made, so this year my mom is working on two new ones for the new in-laws. It think it'll help them feel included in the family.
I seriously love you! You make me laugh! My boys each have their very own placemat too, and yes they got to pick it out. Of course they are the same. Superman. Look forward to seeing you, maybe?
