I got up early this morning to go swimming. On the way home, I may have been lured to a garage sale... I couldn't help it. There was a sign. Works every time.

Now lately, I have resisted the urge to buy these on eBay about 47 times. I just never can bring myself to spend the money.

(Total tight-wad, huh?)

Today, however, they were just in my price range.

All that being said, Miles loves this cartoon called Special Agent Oso. It comes on Disney at 7am. It's actually a decent show and he does things like put his books away and pick up his toys to be "like Oso, momma". I also approve of it because it buys me 30 more minutes of sleep. He watches it in bed with us each morning.

Well, Oso - the helpful, special agent, 007-ish stuffed bear - helps kids do different projects. Recently, he helped a little boy make juice pops.

Oso's Mission: Lisence to Chill... clever, huh?

After we watched the episode this morning, and since I found such a hot-smokin'-deal at the garage sale, we made some juice pops of our own.

I love his adorable little hands.

"Dgreen one, momma!"


"Put it right dere, momma!"


"Pops duice, momma!"

And as we put them into the freezer for freezing... (you'll notice that 2 of the pops have upsidedown handles.....just discovered that)

there was a slight melt down.

"MY pop duice, momma!"

So not only did we learn how to make juice pops, we learned about patience as well.

Will let you know how they turned this weekend...

Thank God for the weekend!
