The husband came home from a quick shopping expenditure with the boys at the local farm and fleet store (i.e. the Man's Mall). He asked, out of the blue, if I had teeny tiny clothespins. Why yes, I responded, why do you ask? He replied: Well, we saw some at Fleet Farm-they came in a bag of 200 or so-and I thought we should get you some. You know, to use with your crafty stuff. Then Chase said that wasn't a good idea because he was pretty sure you already had, like, two million of them. Geez thanks, Chase, for having my back.
This is super duper cute!
