.....and I read that a Babies R Us is also coming to the shopping center at SH 249 and Gessner....my best guess is the lot either across from Costco or where the old Circuit City was located. Keep your eyes open for that!

Shoplifting Birthday Party Ideas

I'm a rule-follower to the core, so I can safely tell you that I don't lie, cheat or steal...or tolerate those that do (and all the Aggies said, Whoop!).

So when I say I'm shoplifting birthday party ideas, I mean that I'm linking to another fabulous site and giving her all the credit.

We do share a name, after all.

Happy Birthday Planning!

Fireworks!

Looking for a place to go see fireworks tonight?

Check out this link and have a wonderful 4th!
