I often listen to my hubby complain about waking with a stiff/sore neck. We were assuming he slept wrong or his pillow was just getting old and needed to be replaced again. I know the same thing happens to me from time to time. Perhaps it's just that we are getting old and it's just a part of aging to have aches and pains that we have never had before.

What Roo said:
I loved everything! I especially loved the hair bow because it was like a zebra and that's my favourite animal.
The suspenders were kinda loose, mommy tightened them but she didn't tighten them enough for me probably because she didn't want them to hurt me.
The tie was really cool, It felt soft and silky and looked great on me even though I am not a boy!

My sister absolutely hates Mayonnaise and/or Miracle Whip.
Her hatred runs long and deep.
So wouldn't THAT be the best April Fools prank ever??

When I plan a party I do it really really well. I can't leave one single bit of the planning or decor to other people. I plan everything, I make the decorations BY HAND, and I make sure it's an event to remember. This year started out exactly the same as all the others. Roo requested her birthday invitation to be hamburgers. You can see the post about them here. They were fun and super cute!
