ohh ohhh...Can I borrow those books if you're done?! I SO want to read them!
ReplyDeleteI gave the first two to Mom, but I am sure she will be done with them both by the time you go to her house next month. They are all yours.
ReplyDeleteOh and about next month...the word of the week is they won't be going in June, but they will be going over july 4th...so basically, I'll let you know when Lee actually knows something permanent.
ReplyDeleteMy conversation just now,
ReplyDeleteBrooklyn - Hey look! That's my Aunt! Aunt Kimmie
Me - that's right, she's your ant.
B'lyn- That's right. But ants bite, right mommy? hahahah!!!
Tell Brooklyn that I am going in for a bite next time I see her. She better run!
