Midnight Musings and a cute idea
Yes, it's mignight, well actually about 12:30 and I am not sleeping because there is a little 102.7 degree baby laying next to the spot where I plan on sleeping. Even though he is asleep at this very moment, it's been pretty off and on. My guess is teething? He seems fine during the day, but afternoon/evening rolls around and he is HOT. Any input?
Anyhow! I better keep it short, because I am pretty sleep deprived and I don't want to get too silly. I saw this cute little idea on the Stampin' Up! website and thought that maybe you would enjoy it.

ARG!!!!!!!!!!!! That is SO stinkin’ cute! I hope your baby feels cooler very soon!
Very cute tube – great idea for packaging for a special treat! The 102.7 fever – besides Ibuprophen, there’s always frozen fruit for him to suck and naw on or Ambesol for the teething. Good luck!
