Half of the kids, Numbers 1 and 3, are finished with school. Numbers 2 and 4 take their final tests today. I am not sure what happens in this space over the break, and am willing to take suggestions. In my mind, there are really two options: do an abbreviated Quote of the Day version, or just take a break. There will be lots of traveling; you don’t get halfway across this beautiful country by snapping your fingers. That is a tomorrow problem; for today, it’s wrapping presents, welcoming some family to prep for Number 3’s birthday, and finishing shopping.
Typically, Lunch Box Quotes are notes I include in the kids’ lunches every day. Number 1 gets a text, but 2-4 get a handwritten napkin. But this week, with finals for the High School, everything is wonky. Some days they are in school, some days they get out early. Every day is different.
