Great ideas. I took a look at that gaming mouse and I just don’t get it. Please don’t get one for me. Boys are weird…

Sara, I know right? I wouldn’t have the least idea what to do with that, which was my clue that Jacob would love it!

Don’t worry, I’ll get you something more practical and much less sci-fi.

Thanks Lisa!! I know he’ll be over the moon for 6, 8, 10 & 14. You are a lifesaver

By the way … haven’t forgotten our dates. 3 weeks of sick kids and now grandma is laid up with a bad back. Hopefully we can pull ourselves together one of these days long enough for us to have some much needed girl time!!
