  1. Love it! My son used a thumbtack to make a smiley face on a kitchen drawer facing in our new house. He was so proud, I couldn’t be angry. That’s so true about girl moms with mouths open.

  2. My youngest is graduating High School next week…….sure will miss those little boogers! Boys are the best. That last one got me too. But, I am gonna be a fabulous mother in law one day.
