Thought of the Day

Happy Halloween!

FINALLY FRIDAY

TGIF once again!!

Payton woke up sick this morning around 3am. She was coughing, had a runny nose, and a fever of 101.6. She seems better today but I'm sure tonight will tell us more. Hopefully, she will still be able to go trick-or-treating especially since she missed her Halloween party at preschool today.

Have a great weekend and I'll see you Monday!
