Lately (Shark Week version)
You guys, it's SHARK WEEK!! I don't usually get all into sharks, but I have been sucked in majorly this year. Maybe it was Anna's super awesome, last-minute, kick-off party? Funny story: A few years ago, when Kyndall was 4(ish), Justin let her watch a few episodes of shark week. In the middle ...
