    Ok, I will be honest. I would be MIA until both were in Kdg. The time goes so fast! I suppose when they are sleeping you could sneak in a card or two. They are both adorable! And they look so happy! You are sure doing something right! Thanks for the chance to win some dies! They are my favorite thing right now.
