Grandparents Day

Our pictures were in the hallway outside of Ava and Harper's room when we got there this morning for Grandparents Day.

It was a fun morning.  First, all the kids and their Grandparents got up and introduced themselves in front of the class, marking on a map where we were born and sharing a little about ourselves.  Papa was late due to a phone call with his doctor and Papa Mike couldn't make it, so it was just the girls and I speaking, but I think we did okay.  We did a "grandparent" word search with the kids, then went to the sanctuary where the 5th grade choir and band entertained us.  After that, the 3rd graders sang a couple of songs. 

Then it was time for recess.  Ava was on the soccer field the entire time while Harper played on the equipment with some friends.

We went back to their room for snickerdoodles and water and we all took a timed multiplication test.  We finished up helping the kids do a step-by-step drawing of monsters, which turned out pretty funny.  They had to name their monsters and then share them with the class.

Harper's tooth had been hanging on by a thread all morning.  As we were getting ready to leave, she finally lost it.

She wrote this letter when we got home, on the back was a dollar for the tooth fairy.
