You have until MIDNIGHT PST (that's 3 AM EST) to comment...
Say anything you want in the form of a comment and include your @1 pet cause De jour.
We will throw the numbers in a hat an randomly select 5 comments and give money to those FIVE places to celebrate the GSO's FIFTH YEAR!!!
Start commenting NOW!!!

I read your blog because I used to work with your wonderful boys and I love watching them grow.I also read your blog because you two are inspirational women. You inspire me to be myself, someone who I never really was before. I appreciate your blog and are excited to see when you have new posts. You women are amazing. Thank you.
I've been reading GSO for many many months, since I befriended you and Katy on FB. Basically, I met your boys at daycare and learned more about your family and even the cousins.. your whole family is awesome. I've never loved two little boys like I love ML and JB! So, I literally LOL at the funny conversations you post, and I frown when I read about health issues, losses, etc. :( You're the best Moms out there besides my own! I respect your beliefs, your careers, and your fight for marriage equality! PS: I better be invited to the WTF palooza! lol :)
Happy birthday to GSO. I've enjoyed your dispatches over these five years. I love that your contest ends at 3 a.m. I sincerely hope your household is fast asleep at that hour, but I also like the image of you loading up the page at 3:01 a.m. to see what's come in.
I'm a huge fan, both of this blog and of your loving family. Laura and I have often thought of you guys as not only wonderful friends, but also as role model parents and a solid couple. I read the blog to hear all about your growing boys, and to hear your insightful musings on life, work, family etc. (My pet cause de jour is the cystic fibrosis foundation.)
Congratulations! LOVE this idea!!!
I enjoy your blog because if the way you tell the story: with humor, humility, insight and love. Love to you all! (ACS)
Because I'll be able to say I knew you when. And oh, yeah, I love you and love to hear about your life and family.
I read your blog because I like to stalk people and I'm super creepy! Jk, jk. I just love to read about your family and I love the kid stuff! As a single, scatter-brained single mom of a 5yo girl, it is nice to read that your successful, seemingly pulled-together family goes through some of the same kid woes (but mostly joys) that I go through. My cause is St. Judes because a co-worker's son was just diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor, and I just feel so powerless and wish there was more I could do. Oh, and I read because the posts are super funny. unless they are particularly happy or sad and make me cry. But that's ok, too. Thanks, bye.
Wow--can't believe it's been 5 years already! Congrat to the GSO! Does this call for another -palooza? :) Pet cause: Planned Parenthood.
I read you because I love you both. And "our" boys. And cause we don't have enough time to talk on the phone, and I need to catch up and stay in the loop. And cause you constantly teach me things. And cause I hope I can learn you some things one day too. And cause you make me laugh. And cause despite the fact that I can't ever ever find my log-in and password for this thing, you read what I'm saying (it's beyond me why you then "post" it).
So I'm replying not for my "charity" but to say happy anniversary and thank you! AND I LOVE YOU! Please keep posting!

K and L...
I love that we are "day-care worker" approved moms! I know you must have some tales to tell about the parents!
Also, LS- you for sure earned an invite to the next WTF palooza (as long as you promise to help us find another sitter, it won't even have to be a working gig for you!)
DIL and Marn-o,
You guys are pretty much the reason we started this blog, because yours were so fun and you too so cool!
It's sad really, that the RSS feed on yours are so dry! And that twitter now owns dl004d...
C-lo, Deb, Dr BB,
Thanks you guys for all the gushing!
We love you too!
Michelle,
You are not our only stalker, so it should mean something when we say you are one of our favorites!!!
Thanks for being so NOT creepy!
glad you're still out there "Anonymous w.w." we miss you!
Congratulations on 5 years of blogging! You are a gifted writer - thank you for sharing your thoughts and stories with us.
I missed the 3am deadline! But, still wanted to say happy 5-year anniversary, GSO. You keep me updated on 2 of my favorite people and their family - make me laugh, make me cry, and make me happy that these folks are out there doing their thing and inspiring others.
