I love them! Reminds me of our childhood....so many memories in the boy's bunk beds! Where did you find the cute bedding?

Mindi:

The Superman sheets are from Pottery Barn Kids and the red sheets are from Target. The comforters and pillows are from Ikea :)

Congratulations to my cousin Dan and his beautiful wife Ashlee who are expecting a baby boy December 31st! That brings the Leatham great-grandchild tally to:

Boys: 5
Girls: 0


This time it's especially surprising because a week ago the doctor said the baby was a girl! We all thought Dan would be the one to have a daughter because he was the first boy grandchild after so many girls. Looks like that pink afghan won't be coming out of Grandma Arda's drawer this year!

I love this hand-crafted guy that I picked up at the Phoenix Zoo gift shop! He's eco-friendly (like all of my favorite toys!) because he's organic and fair trade. When I run the stick along his back he makes a beautifully realistic croaking sound.

You can find his Big Brother, who has a very deep croak, at the San Diego Zoo and other little ones like him for sale at http://www.rosiehippo.com/p-1314-frog-family-drumscraper-set.aspx.

One of Superbaby's favorite books, written and illustrated by my very talented friend Brooke Bessessen:


I love the rhyming text, "fascinating facts" and gorgeous pictures created with colorful fabrics! Read reviews here: http://www.amazon.com/Look-Who-Lives-Ocean-Splashing/dp/1932082824/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1250882568&sr=8-1
