I'd think with adults participating, they wouldn't be so disruptive. Maybe some would pick up on a thing or three even... They would love the fried chicken! :)<br /><br />Kudos to doing up Buttercup's hair and maintaining a positive household happiness ratio! I'm sure Giant will have fun, but I hope he doesn't attempt to disregard recommendations and participate in events that could potentially cause issues with his injury.<br /><br />I'd say you've a lot to smile about!<br /><br />I think your little dude is a professional photographer!<br /><br />Jak at <a href="http://crytonchronicles.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">The Cryton Chronicles</a> & <a href="http://dreamsintheshadeofink.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Dreams in the Shade of Ink</a><br /><br />PS.

After seeing what some girls wore to the Christmas program, I completely get the need for approval. <br />I'll never understand the fried chicken. <br />I love summer and never want it to end.

I'd never buckle down and get it done.<br />Watching him take the photo, I was shocked I was in the center of the frame.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209807996463889703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-88543636201723757642013-05-17T12:16:29.163-04:002013-05-17T12:16:29.163-04:00I'll tell her.
