...Branson Landing...

Last year on spring break the girls and I spent a few days in KC shopping.  This year my sister and I decided we needed a mother/daughter Branson trip w/ my mom, including my sister-in-law and aunt.   My mom and aunt, I know, were really looking forward to the trip but my mom has the same chest crude that so many people have had these past few weeks.  Needless to say, we postponed  our plans.....so, I will spend my time bunny sitting...

---love, love, love...

...our little bunny with Ms. Sarah, the one who has cared and loved her from her 1st day at daycare...

A bittersweet day knowing it was her last day w/ Ms. Sarah.   On Monday,  our bunny will be promoted to her new class, Tiny Tots....oh, how time flies...Aunt Ali spent some time w/ her today in her new classroom getting her acquainted....it made us feel better seeing she was curious and laughing.

...Education Rally...

Teachers, administrators, students, and parents from across OKLAHOMA took their fight to the steps...steps of the state Capitol...

Since 2008 our education funding has been cut by $200,000.00 with student growth during that period exceeding 40,000....In short,

we have 678,000 reasons to fund public education...

..Our children should be a priority...

...I love to hear the sound of thunder but I can do without the ominous clouds and tornadic weather that  accompanies seasonal storms...not looking forward to the anxiety of being under weather alerts...

.... wishes for a springtime of happiness and good health...
