Carnival of Family Life: Now Showing at a Blog Near You November 12, 2007
This is the November 12, 2007 edition of Carnival of Family Life. And yes, I read every single one of them.
Time to grab some unhealthy buttery popcorn, a 44 oz soda of your choice, a box of Raisinets (because Milk Duds are gross), and have a seat in one of those nifty stadium seating style seats, because there’s a lot going on here for you to see. Oh, and if your movie requires the use of 3D glasses, now is a good time to put those on.
