Emerging from the plague

Dear readers (all seven of you), my appologies for being MIA the last few days. The girls and I had taken turns being sick, and then had a lot fo car drama yesterday. Minus a few sniffles, mostly we've come out unscathed.

Those of you that have successful blogs, how does one get their feet wet, so to speak? Besides telling everyone I know to read, how can I get sponsors for things like contests, something I'd eventually like to do once I'm more established. Help a newbie out!

I leave you with a few pictures from an impromptu Chuck E Cheese trip from yesterday. We were supposed to go to the Zoo, but apparently everyone else in Philadelphia had the same idea and we wound up doing this instead. The girls played games and had ice cream, so I think they were okay with it.
