we'll miss school. won't you???
yoyo's gonna miss school so much that he made a special e-card to tell you why. he's wondering if you might send it to a few people. he says it's the only thing that might make him feel better. that and a triple-scoop hot fudge sundae with nuts and cherries and whipped cream on top. and a super-grande iced mocha java. and maybe a pizza with extra cheese. otherwise, he can't think of anything that will make him feel better than if you sent this e-card. c'mon, it's FREE!!! (please?)
i'll miss you, school!!!

tell us a storie, laurie!
yesterday afternoon, we were playing with laurie and all her critter friends. when we got kinda cranky, she knew it was nap time. so we all gathered on her soft, comfy bed. first we jumped and jumped on it. then we listened to laurie tell one of her good nappy time stories! that kitty peeking out from behind the giraffe is laverne. we promised her a special mention because she did NOT want to take a nap unless she got to be in the blog. here you go, laverne!!!! it didn't take any of us long to take a dreamy sleep after laurie told us a happy-ever-after fairy tale story.
hey laurie, how 'bout another story?come back tomorrow!!
