Hey there!
I have two things to share.
Number one: It’s Jon’s birthday today! He is seven. He also got to stay in school ALL DAY instead of just a half day! 🙂
He is super excited because he gets to pick out a race car for his present. I know, I know! Believe me, I covered all the bases. Here is a snippet of our conversation:
Me: Did you get to open any presents before school?
Jon: No, not yet. But I get to pick out a race car after school.
Me: Wait! What? Are you sixteen?
Jon: NOOOO!!
Me: But do you know how to drive?
Jon: NOOOO!! Mrs. Oldham!
Me: What?
Jon: It’s a remote control race car.
Me: Ohhhh. So you’ll sit in it and then someone will control it?
Jon: NOOOO!! Mrs. Oldham! (slaps his forehead)
I’m telling you, I have a knack for these types of conversations and I can keep it up all day. Anyone else have this issue? Could this also be a Reader’s Theater play, I wonder?
Anywho, I would absolutely LOVE IT if you would go bombard Jon’s Facebook page with Birthday Wishes. If you go over there and wish him a happy birthday, come back here and leave me a comment. I’ll randomly choose someone to pick out any three items from my store as a way to say thank you.
Now, I have no computer tech savvy way of making sure you wished Jon a happy birthday or not. We are going to use the Honor system. I was never a girl scout, but I hear they use the Honor system a lot. It must be a good system. Surely. So let’s use it.
Second thing to tell you:
Tomorrow is the last day of Jon’s Fundraiser.
If you have been meaning to make a donation or share it on your Facebook page or anything under the sun regarding it, please do so before time runs out!
21 First Graders in Minnesota are wishing Jon a very Happy Birthday!

I am so proud of you. Isn't it something what a difference you can make and the number of people you can touch with your blog? I bet Jon had a great birthday being in school all day with you and his friends. Our class wished him a happy birthday. 🙂 Oh, and I told my daughter (in college) and her friends all about your Talk about it Tuesday so she can enjoy your Bachelor recaps. She will LOVE them, too! 🙂
