You Figure It Out

A recent email conversation between me & hubby:

me: Can you call me as soon as possible?

he: Can you just email me what you want?


me: No.

he: What is it about?


me:
Do you think you can take a vacation sometime around September 18?


he: Why?

me:
You figure it out.


(long pause)


he: Gulp! 8^)

Super special thanks to Cara for whipping up this most awesome Big Brother shirt for Gray- (and Big Sister is also available now at Urban Baby Runway!)
