Speaking of Fairies, I just recently learned about the Halloween Fairy, who comes and takes away all but a few chosen pieces of candy. I can tell you that we don't ever invite the Halloween Fairy to our house, that's for sure!Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16187306461239093068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2705422401751057656.post-83646695257990460212012-07-08T23:50:41.519-05:002012-07-08T23:50:41.519-05:00Thanks, Janna!

Fortunately, this is not a 'life vignette' and the little boy is not my son, although he surely had lots of other 'growing pains'!Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16187306461239093068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2705422401751057656.post-23680116162355077602012-07-08T23:47:08.295-05:002012-07-08T23:47:08.295-05:00Thanks, Trifecta!
