Break It.1

Thank goodness that spring break is just around the corner! The students are all kinds of keyed up and my mood swings right along with theirs (and they are middle school bunches of hormones!). Halsey will be with us for the week and I'm so excited. I even dusted off PrintShop and made a daily calendar for him to follow. On Friday, we're coloring eggs, Saturday is a trip to the library, Sunday is Easter (church with Susan and then a mini-family reunion for lunch). On Monday, I just scheduled a tour at Homestead Creamery, a local dairy farm that delivers milk to our house now every week. I just really want the kids to have a connection with their food and understand that milk comes from the cows that just live a little ways from us (we'll buy our produce from the farmers' market once that opens back up, too). On Tuesday, we're trekking to Lynchburg to visit Amazement Square, a children's museum (feeding both their need for entertainment and my own need to "research."). On Wednesday, we plan to take advantage of the free "trolley" and ride a bus to downtown Roanoke and go to ArtVenture, which just opened up at the Taubman. It's a staycation and I'm really looking forward to it. Hopefully, I'll have some great pictures to share with you all next week!
