College...or No College?

Andrew and I had a very important discussion about his future today over breakfast:

Andrew: "Mom, how much does college cost?"

Summer: "It's pretty expensive. When Mommy and Daddy went to college at Weber State, it was about $2500 a year. But that's a pretty cheap college and it will be much more expensive when you go to college. Daddy's medical school was about $20,000 a year."

Andrew: (eyes popping out of his head) "Do you think I could get a scholarship?"

Summer: "Sure! If you keep working hard and doing well in school like you do."

Andrew: (thinking for a moment) "Well, my plan is to be on Deal or No Deal before college. Winning the million dollars would definitely help!"

Yeah, we like watching Deal or no Deal at our house. I know it's old news, but it was so fun watching this girl win the million! The re-run of this episode was on TV the other night. Don't tell anyone, but I was seriously in tears because I was so happy for her! She's so stinkin' cute!

Andrew's LOST tooth - PART II

Just a little update... The Tooth Fairy did come after all! We woke up yesterday to find that she had left a dollar for Andrew in place of his note. A DOLLAR! I don't think I ever got more than a quarter for my teeth! It's inflation, Bryan says.

When we went to Costco last week, we asked Andrew what he would do if the Tooth Fairy left him a dollar. He answered immediately that he would buy a churro at the Costco snack bar. A little bit later he said, "I thought I wanted to buy a churro, but now that I see all the things that I could buy, I don't know what to get!" then he sighed, "Ugh! I guess that's just the way life is!" I had to giggle a little bit at that - How true that is!!! --Summer
