When my sweet 10 year old boy asked me if my Grammy (his great Grammy) could come to his school for his last grandparent lunch in elementary school, you better believe I was all over it.  He has a heart of gold and so does she!  She’s 94 years old, still living at home, and everyone adores her!

None of us are ready to accept the fact that Drew is in his last year at Manchester Park!All the grandparents got to go back to the classroom and Drew gave them all the scoop about his class.  It was also red Friday spirit day so we tipped the grandparents off to wear their chiefs gear.  He was absolutely thrilled to have all of these wonderful people show up to see where he hangs out for 8 hours a day!He was hoping that Grammy would win a prize for being the oldest grandparent in attendance but they gave the prize to the grandparent that came the furthest.  Darn it!

Reece also  had a big crew at her lunch 2 days prior.  She couldn’t wait to show off her room!It was raining very hard both days so they weren’t able to go out for recess but from all accounts, grandparent lunches 2018 were a huge success!

And while we are on the topic of grandparents, I should probably not let this one go without mention.  Each August, Grandma and Grandpa take the kids to their church ice cream social.  I usually take the opportunity to get a few things done without my crew and they always come home very excited to show me all of their treasures they won.  Most of them end up in the “white elephant gift pile” in the basement.  But their all time favorite event is the 2 liter pop ring toss.  They think it’s the best game ever!

You will love this flashback to 2009 when Jake was so proud of himself for winning this big bottle of grape pop.  We shared it with the neighborhood kids, they thought they were hot stuff!Cheers to grandparents!!
