Brilliant Blue: That is the color our pool should be by now but we are having a devil of a time getting the water to clear up. The main problem is that we were too lazy busy last fall to put the cover over it. Therefore all of the leaves from [...]

Blogged by Ben(and tagged by The Moosh)
It wasn’t really The Moosh but her mom, Casey. She wants to know 8 unknown and utterly odd things about me. We’ve brain-stormed as a family this evening trying to come up with stuff you don’t already know about me like I drool a lot, I sneeze [...]
