In some form or another, today’s bonus quote could have been given to any one of the kids; all had big weekends / breaks. Number 1 had a fraternity formal, and the other just finished Spring Break. And the relentless grind of the lacrosse continues tonight at New Hanover. Gonna be a big one that goes a long way to determining the Conference Champion for Number 3 as they try to avenge their only in-conference loss. On another note, I heard the first whip-poor-whil of the season this morning, we potted the hanging baskets, and bought ferns. Feels like we are finally ready for spring.
As a reminder, Lunch Box Quotes are notes I include in the kids’ lunches every day. Number 1 gets a text, and 2-4 get handwritten napkins.

I’m in love with this sentence:
“Consistency is the silent engine of extraordinary results.”
