For me, at least. For the five charities I just gave money to, it is a good thing.

Although your pyjama one is good because who doesn't like pyjamas AND books?

Kate just cannot get any more adorable can she? ♥

Re the Kate pic. God, she's adorable, isn't she? If it wasn't for the fact that we already have an SGA character named Kate (Katie), I would totally use that name in a kidfic I'm working on.

What do you think of Kathy? Kitty? Nah, too P&P.
