Someday can we get coconut bouncing balls?  Someday can we do the limbo? Someday let's get the squirt things. Someday let's get those mints. What's that? Someday let's get it. What's that? Someday let's get it. What's that? Someday let's get it. (Reading the Oriental Trading catalog ( Read more... )

I just had a ton of Braxton-Hicks contractions in a row. (They better be Braxton-Hicks.) It made me nervous. Finn is just going to bed and if we called a friend to stay with him, he would probably wake up during the night and freak out. My MIL and FIL are just a couple of hours away but they just got back from an overseas trip and are exhausted. My ( Read more... )
