We had some come in slow . We had some come in cranky. We had some come in wired . I knew the kids would be all over the place today so we prepped physically and mentally for the aftermath of Halloween. Thankfully the weather complimented our PJ day with a gray overcast sky. Days […]
Spookly the Square Pumpkin

New Dress Up Closet
We have SIX kids out today. ( I want to remind you that you get 10 absences per semester before ABC has to review your file to allow someone else to take the spot. ) It has been a slow day. Things seemed a little more calm here with that many of our friends […]
