Side Note: Did anyone go see Diary of a Whimpy Kid this weekend? I took Zachary tonight and it was cute, I have not read the books yet - but this movie was really cute, I thought very well put together and I am looking forward to reading the books. I also loved the characters, such a CHANGE from the "everyone is HOT on Disney/Nick" kinda characters they looked like REAL kids! :)

  3. You got so many great books.
    I haven't seen Diary of a Wimpy kid yet, but it looks funny. I've read my brothers books and they made laugh, so I'll definitely have to see the movie sometime.
