Dreary and cold Monday mornings call for a good laugh – is it really only 36 degrees?? So here are a few things to start your week in the right direction. One day last week during pick-up I grabbed Henry’s daily sheet and folded it in half and shoved it in his car seat up under

Do You Even Know What Dairy Queen Is??
