Yes, its almost inconceivable to think these two lovely young ladies were on the verge of a knockdown this afternoon! (Kaylee in blue – Middle child in black.  Reason she’s called Middle Child here) Yes, it was almost the WWE here in our house today.  Two girls getting ready for homecoming, one bathroom….look out!  Alan [...]
