What a cute story!!
Hi!
I have a rock lover on my hands too. I got both of my girls these big rocks made mostly of sand. However they were very hard. Inside the rocks are different
“treasures” they can dig out.
The kit came with goggles, pick, hammer and nail. Kendall dug out a dino the first time. Then on her second she got a treasure chest that had cute mini “jewels”. I tried to talk her out of them for one of my pages and she said No Way!!
Anyway, I got this at AC More. It was fun and not that expensive..
Amber
too cute!

YES!
Oh man, I’m ROFL at the fact that you dressed a dummy to check out your sweet outfit…we would have got along FAMOUSLY at that age :p
I just came across your blog and couldn’t help but comment how I think you look like Molly Ringwald (sp?) here…I know you don’t have red hair..maybe it’s the smile and the freckles…it’s actually pretty cute…I too had an imitation CPK, so I recently bought my daughter one (a real one w/the sig on the toosh), thinking she would love it..LOL..she barely plays with it…so much for living vicariously…..LOL!
Shannon- I’m way way excited to show you my “awkward stage” pictures. Maybe I’ll email them to you, or maybe I’ll just wait until I see you in a couple of days!!! (Yeah!!!) I’m pretty sure I could easily win the contest!
Are you kidding? Who wouldn’t think you were adorable!
wahahahaha!!!
i love it!!!
what a perfect post…
and who wouldn’t be confident in that outfit???
plus the fact that you have a footless CPK dummy modeling the day two outfit…
why didn’t i think of that one? 
i think it’s a cutie pie picture!
you’re totally killing me. what humor. the awkward stage . . . have to go dig something up . . . 
That is too funny, Shannon!! We had “pumpkin patch” kids, I do believe… never thought of dressing the dummy, though – that is too clever!! ; )
um. do you think it’s a BAD thing that I KNOW I have an ample supply of “awkward” photos I could use? Hmmm…
Too funny, Shannon. I’m sure I have some awkward childhood photo around my house somewhere.
Oh and I had the fake Cabbage Patch kid, too. She looked just like yours, actually! LOL
BTW, loved your layouts in the garden today!
Hey Shannon!
Love your work and your blog! I sent a photo to Erica, so I’ll send it to you, too! Love your photo! I, too, think it was too clever to dress that imitation cabbage patch doll like a dummy. LOL! Great photo! Just don’t laugh too hard at mine when you see it!
Kristina
I thought I was the only kid in America who suffered with a CPK knock off. sigh. oh for a signature on the tushie. I did learn how to french braid on that doll so all was not lost.
of course, I have to come back to this post because I totally have to see this dummy!
wish i could see the photo. my mom made me a homeade cabbage patch boy!~ i loved him!!! named him Todd!!!!!!! LOL
tara
Sadly, I already scrapped my marching band picture… and gave it to Erica, but I’ll put it on my blog for some good laughs.
Hilary
Oh, and I’m sure we coudl’ve done a lot with that dummy issue in my psychology class in college.
Great pic! Love the dummy!! I was a lucky little girl…a well off shopping addicted friend bought me a real Cabbage Patch doll.
he he! love that picture, your cabbage patch girl rocks!! at least you had long hair, i was looking like a boy at that age, lol!
What? you were totally cute … even sweeter that your mom says you were adorable! gotta love that!
that is hot!!!!! hahahaha oh my gosh that is hilarious. i do love however that you dress up a doll in your new school clothes that is a great tradition.
You’re killing me ….. ’nuff said.
I’m laughing so hard I fear I may pee my pants. But I’ll even things up and send you a photo that defines awkward. For some horrid reason my mom thought that my naturally wavy hair should be *permed* and cut into a short, circ 1984 “power business woman’s do.” I was about 10. Evil, evil woman LOL! Not to mention the awful clothing choice in the photo (for which I have no one to blame but my young ’80s self).
The dummy is exactly what I needed to make me cool. You are so awesome. I have my photo posted in my blog. As you will see…I totally needed that dummy!
Sis, you totally know that I would win this contest since we were practically twins at that age. If memory serves, my picture taken on that exact date has me in a blue/white tank top with a plastic pink necklace. I think my dummy had some army looking outfit on. YUCK!
im sensing that you were wearing some serious aquanet or rave hairspray that day. alas i had a real cabbage patch doll. tyler. he was a preemie, with a binkie. and the reason i am telling you this is so i can tell you this….my brother was in college and dated some unsuspecting girl for the soul purpose of obtaining the doll. she worked at k-mart and got to buy two dolls before they opened the doors for the stampede of frenzied moms. so her little sister got one and so did i. then he broke it off. ah, he really is a good big brother.
OMG you totally crack me up! OK, I give up – you win w/ that DOLL of yours! LOL! Too funny!
Robin
I’ve got tears running down my face!!!!!!!
You crack me up!
ya know..I meant to for Erica’s, and I WILL for yours! It’ll hurt, yes. I’ll be embarassed, yes. But You’ll laugh. I can guarentee it.

I hate when that happens.
*gross mental image*
hope you’re ahem…feeling better?
Hey, at least your kids don’t eat gum off the grocery store floor!
Oh, wait…
:p
Write tomorrow so we know you’re still alive
that sounds like something i would do. hopefully there won’t be any negative effects. 11 days before christmas is no time for food poisioning. but don’t feel bad. just chalk it up to december-itis. (that’s the little name i coined for crazed-mother-trying-desperately-to-be-ready-for-christmas disease) good luck!
and why are my comments always the longest?……..
haha….let’s hope you escape any nasty after effects.
You make me smile!!
that is so against my rules too. i am a major freak when it comes to leftovers or leaving food out to long. yuck! i’m sorry that happened
Well, here’s one way to attract weirdos to your blog.
Yummy…
lol it couldn’t have been to bad. I am sure you would have been able to notice any foul smells or odd “what is that growing” signs of spoiled leftovers.
