Our day started off waiting for the school bus and it didn't show up. Ella and I went out @ 6:40 a.m., bus is to come @ 6:50a.m. and I began wondering if there was a school cancelation or something else. So I ran inside, Ella came too because she was getting cold and @ 7:10 a.m. the bus drove by. I jumped into the car and took her to school just in time.
Dale was in charge of getting Adam to school on Wed. Adam starts at 10 a.m. and goes to 12:30 p.m. Dale took Adam out to lunch, Adam said that he didn't get enought time in the play area at Mc Donald's. We had to be back to school to see Ella and her class to their presentations about Presidents at 1L50 p.mm Ella did a great job, her President was George Washington. Maybe I said before in earlier reports that she needed a visual aid of some sort for her report. Kent, Kelly and Ella made the Washington Monument before they left on Sunday. It is reported to stand 555' tall and we figured out that it would take 139 Ella's to match the height. We brought Ella home with us with a stop at McDonald's for a shamrock shake to celebrate her great report.
No homework said Mrs Nelson as we left the class room yesterday, just work on the spelling words. Ella recieved the books "Little House on the Prairie" as a gift and I found on the Hallmark channel she same show. We now have a snack and watch a show. Will be fun when she does start reading, maybe some of the showes will be a chapter in one of her books. A favorite show that Adam remembers was named, "FRED", come to find out it was a goat Laura took home. Not even the preacher liked the goat. Maybe I will peek at the books to see what names are given to the chapters.
Wed night was Survivor night. Grandma's Box O'Fun had a few items for Survivor Night, each of the children had a mask of an animal to wear and we also had sunglasses as they are of course on an island. Everyone in jammies before the show and all settled in. Claire crashed early as she didn't have a nap, so she missed out on the show.
Heard from Kelly and Kent late last night via email that they finally arrived in the TC Islands, guess that they circled it once more before landing :o) that might have made me a little nervous. As Kelly's email read , " We are here, sitting on our deck, having a beverage and a kitten showes up". No feeding the wild life!
So, until tomorrow, "that is all folks"! Weather says maybe another dusting of snow, I am thinking it is white sandy beaches......:o) Nice chatting on Skype.. xoxoxoxoxox
Thanks for a great update of your spring break grandparent time... it was fun to read.
