What IS this?

That's the question that my friend, Alicia's little boy, Mark, asked when he saw the Barbie today. Alicia's in town visiting her family from Georgia. Her husband is in the Navy and is currently out on a submarine somewhere.... Personally, I don't know why the Navy can't relocate them to Dallas. I mean, it's a big city, surely we could find somewhere for an ocean and submarines. Anyways, maybe it's a good thing Mark's daddy is out to sea because Mark was introduced today to not only Barbies, but princess tea cups, a very girly playroom and he did spend some quality time on a Tinkerbell bike. Let me just say this, I learned that there IS a big difference between raising little boys and little girls and it is fun to watch them both.

Other than that, Hailes is home from school and we're all headed outside to enjoy the warm, January day! Hailey even replaced the tiara with a headband for the afternoon, we're getting crazy!
