We did not tell … Continue reading Mom & Dad coming to visit & watch the kids
On Saturday morning, I packed up the van and headed for Peterborough, but not before I emptied the kids rooms and put all their stuff in the Toy Room because while I was away, we had someone in to paint the kids rooms blue and pink.
