What do you want to be when you grow up?




Last month, Todd's work had "Take your kid to work day." Todd doesn't take 1 kid, he takes 4 kids. Fun for him, I'm sure. This year they had things planned from early morning until 4 pm, and I had a day at home all alone. WOW!!! As they left I told them to have a great day, kissed them all and asked them, "What do you want to be when you grow up?"

Jesse - An NY Yankee baseball player
Sadey - cosmetologist
Mairzey - a cake artist
Brody - Kindergarten Art teacher

When they all got home they gave me the rundown of the day. Jesse loved playing Wii in the break room for 3 hours, Sadey learned a little about saving money, Mairzey loved the fake badges and pretending to swipe it all day, and Brody loved learning how to make origami puppies and they were amazed that king size candy bars are 35 cents in the break room too.

Hmmmmm.
So I asked, "Now, what do you want to be when you grow up?"

Not one of them changed the first answer.


We love Todd. He is such a great papa and provider. :)

Cute blog Shelly. I love Brody's answer to the "what do you want to be when you grow up" question. He wants to be just like his Mama and be an awesome teacher!

I don't think spencer and I will ever get a "take-your-kid(s)-to-work" day. He works in a secure building and I work on the hospital floor. Abby does like to help make the babies smile when I'm doing pictures.... so that will just have to count for now. I'm still so glad you caved into the blogging world!
