I wish I could take credit for them, but it was Smith's mastery of the super-expensive camera (that I love.)<br /><br />I wish there was a state of Nonolia at our house. you should totally blog about the "friend" from Nonolia. It's priceless.Krispyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02657109112969678154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26351579.post-73318574791218117962006-11-10T20:57:00.000-06:002006-11-10T20:57:00.000-06:00I don't judge parents for appeasement buying.

Sometimes the less-than-technically-proficient photos are the most endearing.Slashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14063234513080015062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26351579.post-11733902663545559592006-11-10T20:25:00.000-06:002006-11-10T20:25:00.000-06:00I love not buying something.

That said, who hasn't bought kitten stickers, et. al. when there are dozens more languishing at home, for a smidgen of peace?Vetmommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03080433414311070111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26351579.post-24917764634492143462006-11-10T08:06:00.000-06:002006-11-10T08:06:00.000-06:00These pictures look like I took them!

Whatever, the're fun photos. <br /><br />I try very hard to buy as appeasments only things we might have purchased anyway. Like Goldfish. However, i'm a huge fan of that $1 section at Target, so if they must have <i>something</i>, at least it doesn't cost too much.<br /><br />Speaking of horribly annoying toys like that cat, the last time I took sugarbear to the doctor's office, she found a special treasure in the little treat basket there. A pink plastic giraffe which sqeaks. Loudly. Our rule is that the giraffe is only allowed to speak in the nation-state of Nonolia, which is located in her room. Not nearly distant enough to suit us.peevishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14135920853307511091noreply@blogger.com
