HI 5

Happy Monday, friends.

I don't know what the weather was like in your area, but it was picture perfect here. The Midwest can't seem to decide if it wants to be fall or winter, and this weekend it decided to switch back to 60s and sunny. Amazing, I tell you.

seriously!

How was your weekend friends?

Now on a serious note...what's your take on the Hi-5 mittens? Lame? Awesome? Necessary?
