What do you do for fun?

Often, Brother will curl up next to me on the couch with the "Children's Dictionary" and say,
"Mom, will you read to me?"

Some things in life look better than they actually are. Case in point, the prop from Big Sisters "Lolly Pop, Lolly Pop" dance. Baby Girl would not stop crying until I opened it up and let her have a lick. Then of course, she looked at me like I just played a mean trick on her.

What's a mother to do?
