SIDEWALK ARTIST

Stella got a gift card to Toys "R" Us for her birthday for $3 off a purchase of $3 or more. So being the cheapo that I am, I didn't want to spend much more than $3 on our visit. After trying to tell Stella that she wasn't going to get the $50 piano or the $30 cash register, she settled for some $4 sidewalk chalk--the best toy in the entire store for that price, in my opinion.

We had a blast playing with the chalk. However, by the time I decided I had to get pictures of how cute Stella was coloring and how she had chalk on her bum, it was too dark and Stella ran away from the camera like I was trying to wash her face! So these are the few pictures I got.

We also were approached at Toys "R" Us by a girl who works for a talent agency saying that my daughter would be perfect for them. I agree of course, but apparently this agency will sign anyone as long as they pay for expensive acting classes. I know Stella could be a star, but I am not sure I am ready to compete with the parents that would do almost anything for their kids to be famous. Maybe when she gets older...if her daddy will let her. :)
