To the point that my seven year old promised to save her allowance to buy one for my four year old's birthday. Seriously, the obsession has been a major cause of my belief that the little television they watch is way too much...to the point that we are canceling our cable service!! However, if I can just make hmmm... maybe by Christmas I could get that done. <br />I will be laughing for a week thinking about your poor car-struck unicorn. <br />Thanks for the great idea and imagery. I admire your ability to conceive of and conquer great projects with your kids!Jenniehttp://www.sleepypendoodle.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543941664703892689.post-42189528334655746382010-08-15T01:51:09.896-07:002010-08-15T01:51:09.896-07:00Thank you for the idea.Awesome.I want to snuggle t...Thank you for the idea.Awesome.I want to snuggle the roadkill!mousee23https://www.blogger.com/profile/15415626190820207798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543941664703892689.post-85107187227775151162010-08-14T17:54:03.100-07:002010-08-14T17:54:03.100-07:00My kids don't really ask for things from the t...My kids don't really ask for things from the tv either - except pillow pets! We saw some at a store and I was trying to point out how weird they are, but I think the kiddos are more smitten than they were before. They're being used as a bribe to do their full list of chores everyday - with some room for error of course - for 6 weeks. Hey, if I'm going to shell out nearly $100 for a set of weird, square, stuffed animals, they darn well better learn to do their chores! HAHA!<br />I thought about making them but I do not posses the skills - yours looks great!Sarah Bonnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05974066405699512243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543941664703892689.post-84935055953589904812010-08-13T22:35:18.340-07:002010-08-13T22:35:18.340-07:00I am one of those moms that bought the lady bug pi...I am one of those moms that bought the lady bug pillow only because the unicorn was out of stock.
