It was our turn to drive Number 3 and a couple of teammates to practice, so I had a chance to spend two hours in the car with 3 teenage girl lacrosse players yesterday…It was actually pretty fun. I learned a lot about the game, and some about people! All three are really good kids. Five out of five stars, highly recommend.
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 for the Summer Edition, we will be searching for consistency and hopefully a routine. Today, texts for all.
