February 26, 2009

One of our local drugstores was almost giving coloring books away a few days back, so I picked up a few. This morning before we headed off to open gym, we had a few minutes, so I brought out three. Maddy and Cora got right to coloring, but the The Amazing Spider-man book I picked [...]
