Hi, everyone! Yes, I am sending this out early. That is because I will be going out of town for the day on Monday, so I wanted to make sure you all got this. My kids will be having spring break starting Monday. I will be taking them to my sister's house to stay all week. She has lots of plans for crafts and field trips. One field trip will be to a local buffalo farm. Another one will be to Eastman, near Batesville, AR, for their nature trail and slide presentation. They are really looking forward to them both. I wonder if I will get my house clean this week? Ok, enough chit chat. Hope you all have a great week!
