We are sitting around the dinner table, eating our dinner, chatting about who knows what. Eventually the topic shifts to eye color. Each of our 5 kids have different eye color. None of them have the same color as Laura or myself. Kyle has the eye color of my mother. Ciárán has the eye color…
How are you celebrating Star Wars Day? Hasbro graciously sent us a few things to help celebrate May The Fourth (Be With You). Thanks Hasbro!!
