Yay, we sold our house... and now... we have to move... away, from our friends, our schools, our schedules, and all conceived security. Which for me is, you know, scary, for Landon, well he is thrilled because he gets a space room at the new house, Rev has no clue and will yell at us either way, my husband is frustrated, and Cotton ohhhhhhhhh Cotton. Change is going to take a while. I know it is coming. I know it is going to be rough, what I don't know is how to help him. I have been reading a "moving" social story, we have a calendar with big red x marks all over it. This is great for Landon, Cotton is not interested at least that is how it appears. So, one breath at a time. We are slowing down slooowly, we have already packed up a few things, and I am decreasing his private therapy (he needs a break anyway). Maybe he won't even notice haahahaha! The hard part is keeping myself together when he falls apart, and that is not easy to do when you are living in a temporary living facility. But, we are only given the strength to tackle what is in front of us today. God, will never give you strength to worry about what might be, so right now, all is well, and tomorrow will be dealt with then.

I just followed your blog over from the schuyler's monster blog. I've onlyread a few posts down to see that you're moving to my neck of the woods. Welcome! I have two "must visit" nominations. Discovery children's museum (downtown on 2nd) and midamerica science museum (about 1 1/2 hours away in hot springs) both are totally hands-on 'let the kids touch everything' kind of places. Feel free to ask me more, I've lived here my entire life.
Thanks for the tips! I need all the help I can get:)
Well, if your kids like animals/nature/history, there's:

You need not worry about where you live for the schools. Arkansas school districts allow you to request to attend any intra-/inter-district school you want. I don't have any kids, so I'm not real sure on the best schools these days. I know we do have several magnet schools as well as charter schools (some of which are free to attend).
