Show and Tell: Puppy Doggie Sauce

I wasn't entirely sure that this post would be worthy of a Circle Time: The Show and Tell entry. Then I read Mel's Lollipop Goldstein's post about her vision of Chewbacca appearing on her floor -- wearing Darth Vadar's cloak, no less!

I knew in an instant that I needed to bring "Puppy Doggie Sauce" to the circle.

Puppy Doggie Sauce isn't a sauce you put on puppy doggies. It is a nickname that one of our little friends uses to refer to salad dressing.


I present you with exhibit A:

Do you see it? Look hard. At the mushroom perhaps? What if I outlined it for you in yellow?

Proving once again, that adults often don't "see" the detail in things when we think we know what they should be.

What's that? You found the puppy dog without my help? Excellent! But did you find the hidden dinosaur....

If I tried "Escalator Spinning"

This is an optimistic look at what would happen if I tried escalator spinning.

Do NOT try "Escalator Spinning"

('cause I haven't posted a funny video in a while.....)

I don't recommend trying "Escalator Spinning," but that doesn't mean we can't have fun watching!

Quoting Joey (and I share the same thought):

* I am not responsible for mall security pepper-spraying you or for any injuries resulting from your attempts at escalator spinning.

Thank you for your patience.

Familiar refrain

If I had a quarter for every time I heard a story like this one ... especially common to the Brand New Blogger! Thanks to Melody for the reminder!

MLF&H: Sand toys --Marker vs Mabel's Labels

Why would you use Mabel's Labels on sand toys? Aren't markers just as good for identifying plastic toys?

You be the judge. The top image is a brand new bucket, freshly labeled with a black permanent marker and a Skinny-Mini™.







The bottom image is the same bucket after spending a few days in the sandbox with busy hands.

Can you see the difference?

Deals for Canadians

I you live in Canada and like to get a good deal now and again, get thee over to Smart Canucks! It's a terrific blog posting Canadian deals and it's saved me some money already.

And if you're parenting newborns, go through this manufacturers list. Sign-up at the manufacturer's websites to get coupons and sometimes samples too!

iComLeavWe

Here's my NaComLeavMo report: I'm 15 comments behind. (With 8 days to go and 47 more comments to make!)

I think I'm glad that Mel went with the one-week-a-month plan moving forward! From Mel's site:

The new name will be IComLeavWe (since it is a week) but isn't that cool: IComLeavWe--International Comment Leaving Week but say it aloud and it sounds like "I come; leave we." So you walk into the blog alone (as an "I") and you leave after reading and commenting as a "we." Because you've made a connection with someone.
