Stuffed animals . Back then . Probably the sound of music. That was the thing that made me want to be a singer, Julie Andrews up in the hills, the hills are alive. That soundtrack is a piece of my heart. That was my musical release at that age. What song did you like the most, what did you like to sing . I can recite them all. Give me a little something. What will this day be like i wonder what will my future be i wonder this could be so exciting to be out in the world to be free my heart should be wildly rejoice ing oh whats the matter with me ive always longed for adventure i could go on, but you know that song, right . I love it more now. Thats an interesting part. Most people are like the hills are alive zble. Amazing score. Do you know who did it . Who did it .

Little oliver wolfe laroux was born november 1st. His daddy says a normal birth announceman will soon be following with lock up your girls. We have another story about a man who is very upset after his wife had a baby, and he looked at the child and realized the child wasnt cute. This is unbelievable. Hes suing his wife because the baby is ugly. Offended by his newborn looks. The problem is not only did he think the baby was awful looking, he claimed the baby didnt look like the mom or the dad. Heres what happened, they did a dna test, did prove it was, in fact, their child. Heres the rub. The mother had 100,000 of Plastic Surgery before meeting the father, so he had no idea what was going on and he sued her and he won. This is what makes it the judge agreed and ordered the wife to pay him 120,000. You know what, first of all, did he not look at pictures of his wife when she was younger, growing up . What kind of a person is horrified not only is the child ugly, the child horrified him. I think the lady got off easy, if she could get rid of him for 120,000, never has to have anything to do with that man again for the rest of her life. She knows what kind of man she married. She should have done research too before she married him. What side of the bed do you sleep on . The right or the left . Do you sleep on the side closest to the door or the other .

First of all its where we sit. Theres the kiddy table and grownup table during the holidays. Dont be afraid. I found these bamboo plates at my party store. You dont have to give them your good china. You can give them beautiful plates that arent breakable. Also another game ive created here with some little place card holders. Its guess. Who we had relatives put on some trivia about themselves.
