The Loft

Danielle turned Bear's room into a destination. She got that IKEA loft from Craigslist and now he has room for that sweet 4 in 1 game center. Right now it's set up for shooting pool. All he needs is a kitchenette and a half-bath.

Bear to mom...

"Mom?...I wish we had a billion dollars....then we could give it to poor people so they could buy food and Christmas presents for Christmas..."

How did this happen? How did i get such a kind-hearted child?! I am stunned... this is a Christmas miracle!!! I thought he was going to list off a ton of Wii games!!!
