Hanging out in Springfield.

What kind of crazy lady stops in the card store to take pictures of her almost 2 year old daughter with HOMER. I do! I do!
Lucy of course wasn't too sure about the party animal that her brother loves! I bought him a Simpson's game on the gamecube and we've all enjoyed the laugh. If you grew up in the 90's ....lived any part of your life in the 90's you watched at least one episode of the Simpsons....Bart, Lisa, Maggie, Marge and Homer...along with Grandpa and Santa's Little Helper too!
I have to admit I has one of those who watched it every week and then everyday on FOX at 6:00 when I came home from work.
