Let's Make A Deal...

We had a sale this weekend for my Meme, and I got to help run the register and everything! We sold practically everything from the house. Mom even tried to put ME up for sale by putting a "Make Offer" sticker on my forehead, but she said that no returns were allowed...whatever that means, I don't know why anyone would want to return me!! Nana won the bidding at a whopping $3.00! It was a steal of a deal! =0)

Go Ouachita!

This message is especially for my cousin Amy, who started college at Ouachita Baptist University today!

Dear Amy,

Good luck in college!! I have some pointers for you, as I have been to college too! (Hey, it may have been in utero, but I still picked up a thing or two!) I've even included pictures to illustrate my advice:

# 1:

If you get frustrated, chewing on your highlighter always makes it better!

# 2:

In the event that you get into a pinch on a homework deadline, just come see me and I will eat it for you. Then you can just tell the teacher that your cousin ate your homework!

# 3:

And most importantly, work hard, but always remember to relax and have fun with your friends!

Love and Midnight-Madness-Study-Groups,

Benjamin G. Ross

Just a Swangin'...and Other Fun Stuff!

We took a family field trip to the park yesterday...it was a LONG trip! That block and a half car ride was almost unbearable! =0) When we got there, Mom and Dad thought it would be fun for me to swing...or maybe they thought it would be fun for them to watch me hanging there at the mercy of gravity and mother nature! Anyway, here are the pictures from that and some other things this week...

That ground stuff sure is a long way from up here!
