The Boyhouse is vibrating with excitement today. It’s the Halloween Family Dance and I am just going to say that I feel badly for the teachers today. They are going to be dealing with some bouncy kids. Also, my own kids snuck cookies before school this morning, so they may be riding the sugar train. […]
