Amy is checking up on me so I thought I would post. Alex made me a birthday card last week that really shows the effect my parenting is having on him. On the front, it says "Mom Rocks" and has a DQ ice cream on the cover. In the inside, it has a paper pickle and the bottom has a picture of me in my car with the police following. His friend wrote "Amanda speeding" and "The Cops Chasing Amanda". Hmmm - wonder if his parents will ever let their son stay at our house after that one? I'll post a picture of the card tomorrow.
I had my first jewelry party this weekend. I've become an Independent Advisor for Lia Sophia (www.liasophia.com/amandalindner) and my girlfriend Steph hosted a party this past weekend in Minneapolis. It stunk and I hit two pheasants on the way to the cities. The bird was stuck in my grill the entire way there! I pulled into a gas station and gave my most pathetic girly look to the attendant and he did get the bird out for me. Pictures to come later....
My son made me very very proud yesterday. The school is doing a fundraiser for new playground equipment and for every 5 items they sell, they receive a dog tag. He sold enough to receive 3 tags and was so excited to get his third. However, he found out that another kid had lost his tag so Alex gave him his! It was such a generous offer and I know how hard he worked for that dog tag! I told him that I was so proud of him because it showed empathy and it takes a very strong little man to do something so unselfish. Ahhh - proud mommy moment.

That card NEEDS to go in a save file for sure! It is so dang cute!!!
Yeah - my concern is that it's going to go in a save file for CPS
I can't wait to see that card!! Priceless and a for sure keeper!
Way to go Alex!!! Good job selling. Marissa was happy too getting her tags. She has only received two though.
That card is laugh-out-loud funny.
The pheasant stuck to the grill is pretty interesting.
Raising your son to be the gentlemen that he is - simply the working of a great mom!
What a sweet kid you have there!
I just had a Lia Sophia party and did very well. The items should be arriving this week for me to deliver.
"He sold enough to receive 3 tags and was so excited to get his third. However, he found out that another kid had lost his tag so Alex gave him his!"
You are a fantastic mom. I love how big a heart your Alex has. I also love his sense of humor with the police incident. :-D
What a sweet young man you have there....giving his tag to someone else.
That card was cute too.
Sorry to hear you had a rough weekend hitting two pheasants and all.
2 pheasants?!? Yikes. Now that some bad luck there. But to get it stuck in the grill of your car. EEEK!
That is awesome that Alex shared his dog tags with another child. You should be proud!!! (Which I know you are) :)
