Happy Mother's Day and an Opinion Poll

Happy Mother's Day to mothers everywhere and to anyone who has cared for a child. :-D 

Hopefully y'all get treated to some nice dinners and some flowers. Today we are taking Penny to Target. Isn't that exciting? Heehee. Okay, so it's not dinner and roses.... but Target can be exciting too.

So this week we haven't posted much -- a) we were letting the May Giveaways announcement sit at the top and b) we have been contemplating whether or not we should start the NEW Spring/Summer Doll Photo Contest! (Which will have a doll as the main prize, and some runner-up prizes as well.)

We decided that we should ask y'all what you think. Should we start the new contest now? It will involve several weeks of activities (taking photos, sending them in, voting). Or should we be mindful of the fact that most kids are still in school until the middle of June and start the contest then? The contest would run more than a month, FYI -- like we said "several weeks of activities." Nothing too strenuous, but we don't want to interfere with "end of the school-year tests and schtuff."

Thoughts? Opinions? Feel free to share them below and to vote in the new opinion poll in the sidebar (which will be open for 6 days).

Thank you for reading our blather (sans pics) and again, Happy Mother's Day!

Loves y'all's blog.

I'm 30 years removed from New Orleans and still retain a bit of the 'Yat' dialect.

'Y'alls listen up!' (May I have Everyone's attention?)

'Where y'at?' (a downtown greeting)

'How's ya momma 'nem? (Is your family well?)

'How ya like dem oystas Frank? Ain't dey great?' (Spoken by the Mayor of N'awlens at a dinner hosting U.S President F.D.R.)

Sigh...

Sorry to hear that Kendall! Sometimes dollies lose their eyelashes -- but the doll hospital does their job well. :)

And thanks for the comment AlexAndrea-- it made us laugh. :)

People may be going on vacations during the summer at various times, making it tricky to keep up with the contest activities, so I vote to start it now.
