The Monster Truck Fairy

My nephew Dalton is staying with us for a few days. Ethan and Abby both love playing with him and they are all having a great time. We've been trying to get them to sleep for about half an hour now - and they are wound up despite all my efforts to wear them out tonight. Dalton is a funny little man - he reminds me of Marc (my brother) in so many ways. Ethan just came out of his room with one of his monster trucks and said "Dalton told me if I put a monster truck under my pillow the monster truck fairy will come tonight and leave me $5.00". This is something I could see my brother coming up with. Ethan idolizes Dalton - so now he honestly believes the monster truck fairy will be coming tonight. It may be a rough morning when his monster truck is still under his pillow and there is no money.......

Hey Renee

The 2007 Lab T-Shirt is nearly ready - I've been working on it off and on this week - going with a 50's Sci-Fi retro movie theme this year. Check it out and tell me what you think (it's not finished but what you see is the back of the shirt minus lab member names - the 'cast'):
