I think I hear my daughter say that often enough now <grin>.. she's got 3 boys,
12, 4, and 20mos.  The 4 yr. will turn 5 in March, but she's had her hands full
with the three of them :)  The baby's birthday is coming in April.. hmm.. guess
that will be 'terrible twos' <grin>  he's such a sweety though, I can't imagine
that really :)

Exactly..From what I see, he kicks them off all the time :)

I would love to see any kind of craftsman's shop overseas <smile>.. maybe
someday <grin>

Know what you mean, it IS. :)

I guess not :)  I'll have to check and see if that's still true in Louisville..
now I'm curious :)
