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 […]

Gardening?

May 2nd, 2008 · 12 Comments · a day in the life, domestic attempts, tina
