Is it in you?

Is it in you? Are you an entrepreneur at heart, driven to pave the way for a new business or idea? I received a flyer today from a little boy that must have this drive! Now this idea is not new, not profound, but you gotta give it up for this little boy! His flyer reads:

The Dog Doo Dude
Piles of pooh? I'll pick 'em up for you...so you don't have to!
Up to two dogs starting at $3, free estimates, same day service! It also includes his hours of availability and phone number. And to top it off his logo at the ends reads Miles of Piles, *Rates are subject to increase based on extra dogs, lot size and landscaping...in other words more crap means more money!

It got me thinking of his parents, they must be hard workers, not afraid of failure, outgoing and maybe entreprenueres themselves. And even though their son is picking up crap, I'm sure they are so proud of him! I know I would be!

I'd have to say it's not in me completely! I do love a challenge, I'm a hard worker that is not afraid of failure, but on the other hand I like my comfort zone. I like when someone else paves the way and then I can come in and kick some butt on whatever the task. I remember one year my brother and I were staying at my Grandparents and Jasen was trying to make some extra money. So he made a deal with my Grandpa that if we bagged all the leaves we would get a dollar a bag. Not such a bad deal for back then! So we bagged all that we could and then realized we were only getting five bucks...hmmm...how could we produce more money? So we climbed the tree and stared shaking the branches, which produced another five bucks for us! Now that's what I call movers and shakers! :)

So, is it in you?

Go GREEN!

I can’t believe my son is three! I know you always hear how fast they grow, and man is that so true! I was holding Noah the other night and I told him he needed to stop growing, he responded with, “but Mommy, I want to keep growing so I can be just like my Daddy!” It’s amazing how you can feel so torn by wanted to freeze time to cherish the moment yet I look forward to see what a wonderful man he will soon become!

Noah had somewhat of a birthday week, which seems to happen a lot when you’re a kid. We started out the day with his favorite pancakes, then for lunch he requested mac and cheese and then for dinner CHUCK E CHESSES!!! After Chuck E Cheeses we topped the night off at Metromom’s house with cupcakes and other goodies! It was a great day! Then this weekend we had his party at the train park with all of his friends…and ours! J It was a beautiful day to celebrate! Go GREEN! (If you weren’t at the party, the theme was the color green, it’s his favorite!)

A look at last night!

Here are a few pictures of last night. Noah wasn’t too excited at first, but when he saw his cousins and other kids having fun he was in full character! It didn’t seem to bother Juliana that she was dressed head to toe in her outfit, I thought she’d at least take the hat off. We had a good time, Noah came home with enough candy for 2008!
