. . . happy happy happy . . .

. . . annual grandparents day 

at the elementary school . . . 

. . . which means we 

bought and brought 

three happy meals . . . 

. . . first up were the first graders . . .

. . . here we are with tate . . .

. . . he's six now 

and his two front teeth 

are growing in very nicely, 

thank you . . .

{he looks awesome in the sweater he borrowed from his sister. 

he was freezing, which is understandable. 

it was a "chilly" 75 degrees at the time.} 

. . . after a few minutes, 

the big fifth graders showed up . . .

. . . here's addison ~ she's ten . . . 

. . . she asked me to visit her classroom

 while bill went 

on the second mcdonalds run . . . 

. . . since it was pouring rain today, 

the kids had to spend 

their lunch recess indoors . . .

. . . there were a couple dozen laptops,

 ipads, and iphones 

for them to play games on . . . 

. . . heavens . . .

. . . we used to play 

heads up/seven up and hangman 

on rainy days! . . .

. . . last up was our 

almost nine-year-old fourth grader,

 halleigh . . . 

. . . she was surrounded 

by about seven or eight friends 

when it was time 

to go back to class . . .

. . . three cute kids 

who seem happy as can be 

at their school . . . 

. . . they're growing up so fast . . .
