18 Percent Interest Rate Cap to Continue.

TGIF! Last weekend, I came to the realization that my children really don't like to share. Unlike the kiddos, I love to share and below I have shared two pictures that get me giggling each time I see them. The first is a photo of Ava - she's taking Kyse's car for a spin. The second photo was snapped right after Kyse hijacked the car back from Ava.
 
Have a great weekend!
