How dare you let Trixie touch that sign! Hard-earned money was spent to produce it, and that is so disrespectful letting her practically hang from it!! ;)

Thanks for making me smile as I nervously sit here awake on the Gulf Coast!

So irresponsible, she could've gotten a splinter! The horror, the horror!

Nonono...signs were *made* for children to hang from! You just forget what it was like to be young! And if you disagree, you must not be a parent and therefore hate children!

This exercise is fun, Ben! It's like Opposite Day! ;)

I was going to ask..."why is this controversial? Icecream being controversial would put a few people in an uncomfortable position!". Then I had the idea of going pressing 'previous'...ooohhh! Well, from an Honours student, stuck in the library feverishly trying to think of something stimulating to write, icecream is really awesome...and so are the pics. Thanks! :o)

But wait! She's standing within visual distance of a ROAD and there is NO FENCE to keep her in! ACK!!!!

I love this pic - anything with ice cream is a hit with me!

OMG you let her eat ICE CREAM?!?!?!

(ha ha)

She should have been eating her ice cream under the sign to bring in more business :) Too cute!

ICE CREAM? And it's MEMADE, no less! How could you? Don't you know there are good, normal, childless, lactose-intolerant people who look at your blog? How could you post something so offensive to those you can't digest lactose?

=p

Is the controversy that you are running from the law for some reason and had to take her into CANADA?? (I noticed the red maple leaf on the sign....)

I agree with Jessica,Trixie definatly couldve brought in a ton of business.Shes such an adorable little girl :-)

Im kinda new to the site by the way :-P

Lindsay,

I believe they are visiting Maple View Farm again. I'm starting to think that Trixie might like ice cream just a little bit! She's so cute eating it though!

love the last comment and the three pics.

Ben you do a fantastic job with the picutres, I am like most taking pictures of my neices and getting horrible shots of the back of their heads.

I think you have done a great job with Trixie, she is beautiful, smart and HAPPY. You can see it in all her pictures.

In relation to Friday's TPOD and the "controversy" there has never been a controversial (i cant spell this time of night) picture in my opinion. They are pictures of your pride and joy, and we are blessed that you have chosen to share your lives with us. Keep up the great work!

I agree with Tanya (from Canada) and most of the others. This is the year 2005, for crying out loud. Things are different, sometimes for the good sometimes not, but let happy children be just that - happy.

I've never posted before, and probably won't again, but I just felt compelled this time. I read everyday, since you were mentioned on the Kim Komando site way back when. To quote Tanya "keep up the great work!"

If u like homemade ice cream, u might wanna check out Sunni Sky's...it is in Angier, so it is a way away from u but maybe for a special occasion type thing...

ugh i hate when i do that! the above comment was mine
