I don't think he does cause I can't even tell him everything. Well, I guess you really never tell anybody everything. LOL It's not Like I have tons of secrets. It's hard to have secrets when you have five children. Plus there is no time for secrets! Yep, life is pretty much the same day in and day out. The kids add their own excitement t...
