SSSusan:
Hee.  Well, I promise not to do that. ;-)  I have my Amazon order 
which should arrive later in the day as my backup.  I'll admit, 
though, that I wasn't worried about finding a copy at my local Wal-
Mart or Kroger grocery store 'til Ravenclaw Bookworm described the 
lines last time in her mom's similarly-sized small town.  

So maybe I'd better get that Costco membership up & running!

SSSusan:
I'm sure the wisdom of that move depends on the type of 4-year-old 
you each have! My two would probably have loved the adventure of it 
when they were 4. I'll bet in your case, the two 4-year-olds having 
each other would make it fun.  Question is:  would it be fun for you 
two moms? :-)
