I sure love that story. Except for the part where you forgot to invite me to your yard sale. I'm sure I would have taken that $211 to at LEAST $215!
Amen. I would have loved your junk!
The non-spanish speaking hispanic husband is cracking me up right now!
STOP IT!!! YOU'RE KILLING ME!!!
I love what Olive wants for Christmas! The turtle to take a bath with! My in-laws bought Salvador one for Christmas! Super cute but really dirty. Luckily, I don't have to touch her. Olive can come over anytime and play with her. Better yet, I will bring her over for bathtime and Olive can fulfill her Christmas wish list!
How funny - I can't handle that your hubby doesn't speak spanish and mine does. What's wrong with that? I'm still laughing. Have a great thanksgiving (and I was talking to Kasey last night - why why why didn't you go see spazmatic when you were here? - I should have called and invited you.) Next time right?
Oh again with the oh so fun posts. I could talk all day about people calling little girls boys. Kills me.
