The kids got up today and finished all their school work bright and early. This is the 2nd time in a row they have been up, motivated and totally finished by 10:00! Perhaps they have finally realized my wisdom when I say it’s better to get your work done early and then play, [...]

On the way home from ‘trick or treating’ at Mommy & Me and a visit to the library today…
