Bennett – “It’s a home day!” [...]

The Boys Speak Their Mind.

Lynette posted her boys’ responses to these questions, so I thought I’d play along.

Luke – “Time for dinner.”
Bennett – “You [...]

My sister Hayley did this meme on Facebook, and I thought it was more fun than lots of them I’ve seen! Hey – if you don’t use iTunes (I have an mp3, so iTunes is not good), where do you download music? Walmart is where I’ve been getting it recently…anyone using anything better? [...]
