Made perfect sense to me. Our Ba and Huggy and Miss Mousie, threadbare though they are, still celebrate their bdays with the family and cake every year, one month before their respective teen's bday. That plus the half bdays equals a lot of cake, though I'm still tempted by your Happy Wednesday Cake cake. I feel like they're all quivering the way a car in those NASCAR races revs up before the start signal is given. Soon outta here, but still needing hugs (lucky me). Thanks for the morning wistful laugh.kb in nhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13817820156474617841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-91110959524428896502016-03-18T03:47:10.201-04:002016-03-18T03:47:10.201-04:00Danke für das Teilen mit mir einige Ihrer Ideen be...Danke für das Teilen mit mir einige Ihrer Ideen betreffend sind die Möglichkeit des Verminderns unserer gegenwärtigen Arbeitslosigkeit<br /><a href="http://www.fivenightsatfreddys6.com/" rel="nofollow">five nights at freddy's 6</a> <a href="http://www.friv-2017.com/" rel="nofollow">friv 2017</a> <a href="http://www.frivfrozen.net/" rel="nofollow">friv frozen</a> <a href="http://www.frivhappywheels.com/" rel="nofollow">friv happy wheels</a> <a href="http://www.jogosfriv2017.org/" rel="nofollow">jogos friv 2017</a> <br />Wir danken Ihnen, dass Sie diese Hoffnung mit uns teilen und diesen Schritt auf dem Pilgerweg des Vertrauens? mit uns gegangen sind.<br /><br />wir danken euch für das bisherige Teilnehmen lassen, möchten aber den Rundbrief nicht mehr erhalten" oder <br /><a href="http://www.juegosdefnaf.com/" rel="nofollow">juegos de fnaf</a> <a href="http://www.juegosfriv100com.com/" rel="nofollow">juegos friv 100</a> <a href="http://www.juegosfriv4.me/" rel="nofollow">juegos friv 4</a> <a href="http://www.yoob10.org/" rel="nofollow">yoob 10</a> <a href="http://www.yoob4.net/" rel="nofollow">yoob 4</a> <br />Danke für die Mitteilung der Information an Ihre Familie und Freunde. <br />jogos yoobhttp://www.jogosdeyoob.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-42479661595146964072016-03-16T22:08:46.607-04:002016-03-16T22:08:46.607-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00778019717146490967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-83847747916396756472016-03-16T22:08:39.269-04:002016-03-16T22:08:39.269-04:00Quick question: Have you tried makelovenotporn.tv?...Quick question: Have you tried makelovenotporn.tv?

I loved that line.<br /><br />Thank you for the soup and the boob piñata.

Yay!<br /><br />The boob piñata is a classic! My own oldest is one year ahead of Ben and the time left is achingly fleeting. How did this happen so quickly? He often talks about "when I was a kid" and I want to yell YOU STILL ARE! but I just nod my head.

I was recognizing the situation (I keep exclaiming about how look there's a horse!! look at that cute house!! look at those beautiful shrubs!!---now that my eldest is driving and I can SEE OUT THE WINDOWS for a change), and also Recognizing the Situation (I overheard a conversation between this same eldest child and a friend, where they were just like ITCHING to get off to college and the next stage of life), and also Struck by your phrasing/imagery ("Thanks for the childhood!" while driving off), and then completely choked up by that whole image combined with the poem segment.

In case you don't know this already - check the ingredients on the bouillon cubes. The ones in our store all have dairy in them. Unfortunately, My son is sensitive enough that he will react to that minuscule amount. (and side note : if you have a dairy-free bouillon cube product, please share the brand!! ) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10074170813303838700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-8696050955218880852016-03-15T13:45:55.987-04:002016-03-15T13:45:55.987-04:00Ah, the boob piñata!

Thank you so much for your recommendation of the non-competitive Harvest Time board game. All three of the older kids--even the teenager--join in to play it with the five-year old. I think they all find it to be a peaceful break in their days.<br /><br />Also, minus the butter, dairy-free soup!
