Kate's BFF at school came over for a play date tonight. G man got left out and that wasn't so cool.

So one day about a year ago we're riding in the car. I ask Garrett a question. Katie can see that he's eating and can't speak and says "loading, please wait!". It was hilarious and we all laughed a lot over that (I also told her how awesome her sense of humor is ( Read more... )
