Happy Halloween Week!

It's Halloween week and that means LOTS of family fun happening all over town. Lots of opportunities to dress up and have a great time. Don't forget that the time changes this weekend...set those clocks BACK an hour before you go to bed Saturday night. Maybe the trick-or-treating and excitement of Halloween will wear the kids out enough to actually get that extra hour of sleep...one can always hope!

Blessings,
