I need to apologize to every person whose eyes I wanted to tear from their sockets when they said that the time will fly. Okay. You were right. I'm finding it sort of unreal that the 5 pound, hairy lump … [Read more...]
Let the Judging Begin

This Is How We Roll
Most days the little turkeys get driven to camp, but there are some days when me and my little scooter ninjas just have to ride... we make quite the spectacular little posse, you know - ready to terrorize y'alls neighbourhood.
