November 4th, 2008 · 6 Comments · a day in the life, bridget, dave, family, random, tina

As some of you may know, we decided to be Monsters Inc. characters for Halloween this year. For more than a year now people have told us that Bridget looks like Boo from Monsters Inc., so we thought it would be a fun thing to do. You may remember my previous post, and the call […]
