So, I was tired before I read your post....now I think I may go to bed now. I wonder if anyone would notice...

Amy said...

Why did you sell your stove/oven? I'm with Kimberly...

Brittani said...

we wanted a double oven, so we thought if we could sell ours, we would go ahead and buy a new one...it sold but the new one does not come for 3 weeks:(

Yowzah! I can honestly say the 5 days I spent with your kids took WAY more brain strength than any long day at work. But after a long day of work I never sat and thought about all the cute things that happened like Ronnie and I still do when we think about watching your kids.
