Pride and Prejudice = one of my all-time fave books. So good!
And most people dislike it because they were forced to read it in high school. Everyone should read it again as an adult!
I love these survey things!!
The boys have school Monday & Tuesday. Chris and I have been working like crazy people this weekend so that next weekend is all about fun and family!
Are you going to do the hangout night again at your event space this season?
You get a whole week for Thanksgiving? Sweet. I can’t wait to see what the future of Wrecking Routine is! I will live vicariously through your blog’s awesomeness since mine is going to stay mediocre. 🙂
Your blog is pretty awesome. Hopefully the kiddos aren’t too crazy these few days before break! Should I tell you now or later that my school also gets three weeks at Christmas?
