Internet was down yesterday and I was this morning. A friend shot a large turkey yesterday, so we had to go over and check it out. Moving slow today. Although this could be one of my favorite sets of quotes in a while. The boys have a big one tonight, and it is Military Appreciation Night! If you are in the area, stop by!
Typically, Lunch Box Quotes are notes I include in the kids’ lunches every day. Number 1 gets a text, and 2-4 get handwritten napkins, but today, everyone gets a text except for Number 4, who goes to school later and gets a note today.
