Happy Birthday Matthew!!!!

Today Matthew turned 6 years old. I can't believe how BIG he is! Time really does go by fast. It seems like yesterday we were at the hospital awaiting the arrival of our little girl and were surprised, instead, with another little BOY! That's Matthew for you...always a surprise!! We love you, Matt!!

Gumballs

Yesterday I was at the grocery store and as I was leaving I saw a little girl who had just put her quarter in the gumball machine and this is what she got...

A miniature Mexican flag! Maybe it's just me, but is that not the saddest prize a child could get!? I think it stinks. What makes it worse is that the girl had no idea what it was and she looked so disappointed. I wonder if there were American flags in the machine, too. The poor little girl was probably hoping for a ring that would turn her finger green! I think the only thing worse would be if the machine took your money all together. As I drove home I thought, " Only in California would this be in a gumball machine!"
