Here's one for the baby book

Today, while strolling through Marshall's with the girls, Maddy cried out in distress as she frantically tried to dislodge a tic-tac from her nose.  It's the first time any of my kids have put anything up there -- other than their finger.  Or, at least, it's the first time I've ever caught them.

I've been looking for a reason to post this nose picking photo from Maddy's referral set from early last year.  Now I've found it and I know many of you will be relieved to learn that "nose picking" has now been crossed off the FFFF list. 

You might also be interested to know that, in several countried (such as China), orange flavored tic-tac's are not orange -- they're white (see inset).  But here in the good ol' USA, their color is homonymous with their glorious flavor.   This little detail wasn't overlooked with Maddy's latest incident as, even though I got the whole tic-tac out almost immediately, she's been sneezing orange snot for half a day.

Another, bigger, "first" for the baby book is our teenage son's first job interview.   He got dressed up and looked so nice!  Later, I called him and he said he thought he did well.  It's not a super prestigious job but it's his first so that doesn't matter.   I love my kids!  Whatever they do, they do it with gusto!
