Of course you should have bought those cupcakes for all of those reasons and for the key reason...I am a mom and I need a cup cake or 3 if you want...you go girl, but I loved your justifications. <BR/><BR/>Hey we are going to go to the cool pool in Lehi...not sure of the name...but we are going to meet a friend there on friday around 1:00 if you don't have any other plans...we would love for you to come along...let me know and I will get you some details.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5292648232930348033.post-52463448164268336602008-07-06T10:25:00.000-07:002008-07-06T10:25:00.000-07:00Of course I read this post on fast sunday, oh thos...Of course I read this post on fast sunday, oh those cupcakes look good. Way to be patriotic! i think it was very wise of you to buy and devour the cupcakes.<BR/><BR/>I am so sorry about your sparkler experiance! Don't listen to guilt trips, espically if they come from a certain someone. You need to be a duck and let water roll off your back, (that's a metaphor, or is it a simali? But just dont' let thigns people say affect you) :) <BR/>I don't really want you to turn into a duck ;)kingwritergirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08950485028781873577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5292648232930348033.post-20720049133345810762008-07-05T12:09:00.000-07:002008-07-05T12:09:00.000-07:00We don't buy sparklers either, we go for the snaps...We don't buy sparklers either, we go for the snaps instead. I agree, who thought that a stick on fire was a great thing to hand a kid? I saw those cupcakes at Costco and they DID look yummy.

It is nice to sit back and watch while my teenager lights the fuses. I have to give safety reminders, but I don't have to run around in a panic anymore. (I still hate sparklers though. Whose bad idea was it to give kids super-hot fire on a stick?)Sandra Taylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00893923477979525131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5292648232930348033.post-18927405540636203502008-07-04T08:24:00.000-07:002008-07-04T08:24:00.000-07:00That's cool you served your mission in the Philipp...That's cool you served your mission in the Philippines...where there?<BR/><BR/>Yesterday, our family watched fireworks. I felt bad not bringing sparklers for my kids, too. Sparklers are usually not a problem, but when I was a kid, someone threw it up in the air and it fell in my shirt, leaving me with a scar to this day.<BR/><BR/>There's nothing like Philippine-style fireworks, is there?Jewel Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09614039445924074306noreply@blogger.com
