. . . national grammy and grampa day . . .

. . . today marks the forty-fifth annual

official celebration of grandparents day

here in the u s of a . . .

. . . in honor of the occasion, we went

{bearing unhealthy happy meals}

to spend a little quality time

with our school-aged grandkids . . .

. . . first up, we sat and chatted

with halleigh anne . . .

. . . who's a top-notch third grader . . .

. . . next ~ we greeted addison leigh . . .

. . . hard to believe

that she's already in fourth grade . . .

. . . she insisted on bringing

a show-n-tell photo of herself and grampa

from about nine years ago . . .

{photo courtesy of addi's classmate - i wish i could remember her name!}

. . . last, but not least ~ big man on campus . . .

. . . kindergartener tate william . . .

. . . he was super impressed

with his humungousaur toy . . .

{i had never even heard of humungousaur ~ i thought it was the incredible hulk. oopsies.}

. . . since we didn't really trust

the photography skills of five-year-olds . . .

. . . we have no photo of the three of us together . . .

{i'm not so sure we did any better than a kindergartener would have}

. . . so fun to spend time with these three . . .

. . . they're growing up waaaaaaay too fast . . .
