Library problem
Ted says I have a library book problem. I was putting away the books on the "public library books shelf" at home (What? Doesn't everyone have a library book spot at home??), and he saw THE LIST.

Jake and I have had a blast today. First, we went to his school, and he enjoyed an hour at the Willy Wonks themed fun house on one side of the school while I did a little craft shopping on the other side.
