Better Late Than Never

So last week (yes, I said LAST WEEK.  There will be no judgment!) The Girl's school celebrated Grandparent's day.  This is the second grade class' big hurrah for the year.  One thing I have to say about that is: Thankfully, it happens in September, and not in May.  It was a very cute, and very long event in which the kids got to show off their grandparents, put on a few musical numbers, do some crafts, read some stories, give school tours, and finally sit down and have a refreshment...or twelve. 

Here are some pics of all the fun that was had:

Some singing goodness:

(Side note: The Girl was very excited about singing at Grandparent's Day.  She practiced for a few weeks.  She has become quite the little singer as of late.  Since she has shown no real love for music up until now, I am quite surprised at this new little development.  I was flat out shocked to learn that she got up in front of the whole lunch room to sing "Happy Birthday" to a recess aid ALL BY HERSELF.  Apparently, the lure of the microphone and some candy was more than she could handle, and she caved.)

Here, she and her grandma are making some bracelets:

And if no one has built up a sweat yet, then it' was on to the photo booth:

Thank you so much, Grandma, for coming out for Grandparent's Day!  It was so fun to have you!

Next up: Our small weekend getaway...Yes, it was last weekend. 

So. 

I am working on promptness.
