And I love the groupings you noticed. <br /><br />And I laughed at that pic of your kids in Old Navy! It's so funny that they are so intrigued with mannequins! Maybe you should rent the movie Mannequin, which was one of my all time faves as a kid.Writer Bughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18332064105213167179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14397387.post-91288419773555192662009-06-18T11:51:03.186-04:002009-06-18T11:51:03.186-04:00Carolee ... yea you!
