TWINS!

Yup, those 2 that are attached came out of the same egg. This kind of grossed me out when I saw it. I felt bad for eating them.

*****My 100th Post*****

It's finally here, my 100th post!

Now I have to do something grand like give out $100.00 or tell you 100 things about me or even do 100 cartwheels. You're excited aren't ya? Well don't be, cause none of that's gonna happen. :-)~

However, I am giving away 2 prizes (maybe 3) to 2 lucky winners (again, mayber 3)! Got your attention? Good.

Since 100 people don't visit my blog, I need everyone's help with completing this giveaway before 2009. If you want to be eligible to win one of the prizes, leave a comment here and post something in your blog regarding this giveaway with a link back to this post. Easy enough, right?

Here are the Prizes

One lucky winner will receive a $20.00 Gift Certificate to The Pitter Patter Boutique.

Another lucky winner will receive a No-Throw Sippy Cup Holder from The Pitter Patter Boutique in their choice of fabric! These are getting more and more popular everyday and they're a must have for the mom and baby on-the-go!

And as a possible added BONUS, kind of a "wait and see" sort of thing, I may be giving away this beautiful reversable ring sling. A $75.00 value!

Now remember, to be eligible you have to post about this giveaway on your blog and link back to it. Only one entry per person please. Drawing will be held after atleast 100 people have left a comment. Also, please leave your first choice out of the 3 items above, that you would like if you won!

Thanks for playing and Good Luck!

Fundraiser for St.Jude Children's Hospital

Today my 6 year old son (1st grader) came home with a Math-A-Thon booklet. It's a fundraiser to help with research at the St. Jude Children's Hospital. There are approximately 250 problems in his booklet and the idea is to get sponsors to pledge .5c, .10c, 20c or more for each problem. Or pledge a flat donation amount of $10, $20 or more.

For example, if you pledge .20c per problem and he complete's 200, your contribution to St. Jude would be $40. There are also some pretty nice benefits for him as well. Not only is he learning math to help the kids over at St. Jude, he is also rewarded by Math-A-Thon with prizes. Dorian is a great student and I have included a photo of all the 100's he came home with today. He's sitting at the living room table right now working on his problems.

If anyone would like to contribute, please do so. It's a great cause and you will help many many children over at St. Jude who are suffering from life threatening illnesses. The deadline is March 28th. On that day we have to turn in all checks to his school. If you would like to send a check, please make it paypable to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. If you would prefer to pay with credit card you may send payments to me via Paypal and I will then write a check off of my account for you.

You can email me at sarah@thepitterpatterboutique.com if you have questions and you may also send you paypal donations there as well. If you would like to mail a check, please email me for my mailing address. All checks must be received by March 27th at the latest to insure that we get them to his school in time.

Here are some photo's of all the stuff we received and of my son who is working so hard on his problems...

All of his 100's!

The Prizes he could win.

His Math-A-Thon book full of problems.

The sheet that we would like to fill up with all of your pledges and ours.

The boy with all the 100's and with a goal already set to complete his whole booklet and get all of the problems correct.

We appreciate anything you can give to help the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Even $1.00 goes a long way.

Our custom baby travel gear includes Nursing Covers, Boppy® covers, and more... custom designed for the stylish mom! We're giving away one of our fabulous Nursing Cover's during this PARTY!!!

Just for Mom Diaper Bags & Totes

We have a NEW collection of diaper bags, bags and totes on The Pitter Patter Boutique! Here's a sneak peak but if you would like to see more, go here.

Beauty and the Beast, the mini version

The lighting isn't very good but it's viewable. :-)

J. Bean is now 8-1/2 months and Max (aka HUSH!) is a little over 2 years old. They were both watching their big brother play on the play ground outside.

Warning: If you ever get a Yorkie, just name him/her "Be Quiet" or "Hush" or even "SHUT UP" if you wish. Cause the da#! dog never stops barking.

J.Bean thinks he's hilarious though, well, except for when he is licking up her nose :-/
