Give Me a Tag Line - Contest
March 23, 2008
Written by: Katie
So I sat down tonight to blog and I realized that I have nothing to say. So what do I do instead? Give away money. I have a $25 gift card to the store of your choice burning a hole in my pocket. (I know some people don’t like Starbucks) Please please take it off my hands!!
This picture has absolutely nothing to do with the contest but I have no new pictures to share. Like I said, we are scraping the bottom of the barrel. Wonder who this is.
I need a tag line and I need one bad. Even my dear husband has one and I can never let him one up me, so help me out. Maybe something like these:
Team Bettendorf: Mom of twelve impales herself while unbuckling fifth car seat in the van.
No, that sounds like a news release. A bad one at that. Or maybe it would just be a bad accident. Or perhaps bad humor. Hmmmm
Team Bettendorf: A family with lots of flatulence.
Then again is that something we want our visitors to know about us as soon as they get here? Wouldn’t we prefer they get to know us a bit before they discover our odiferous lifestyle?
Team Bettendorf: So many kids we don’t bother to bathe them or remember their names (and you can forget schooling them).
Maybe not.
See, I’m no good. You guys are creative and fun and creative and silly and creative. Help.
I know you like this outfit. Dana sent it to me. Isn’t it great?
Post your proposed tag line here and the team and I will make a decision in 7 days.
Thx -The Management

Oh man, you sure do have a way with words Katie ;-)
I’m no help because I’m even LESS creative than you, but I did want to say that I can’t believe that outfit still fits him!! WHAT a cutie!!
Cathy, Those pictures are from February 2007. :)

Hmmm… I like the flatulence one… That one really fits us well.
March 23rd, 2008 at 8:56 pm
Ha ha! Cathy, that was the first thing I thought of when I saw the pic. LOL I couldn’t believe that outfit still fit.
March 23rd, 2008 at 9:24 pm
Katie,
You can have mine (changed to fit your family, of course). I’m not using it, and besides, it might win me $25, and I can’t pass that up.
