I was just getting over another cold and was not really feeling up to that. I was definitely thinking he was a whacky kid because all I wanted to do was stay inside nice and warm and dry. He can have all the hot chocolate he wants, but I'm not going out there. We ended up playing Monopoly for 4 1/2 hours instead.Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00871628306445393471noreply@blogger.com
