The Puddles

My apologies for the awful camera work, I didn’t realize that I took so many blurry photos that day.

It was a really good day.  It started at 7:00am with Donuts with Dad that even Papa G came up from Friendswood for.  He and Chris took the three puddles to school for some juice and donuts which followed with tours of the classrooms from the kids.  I stayed home to cook and prepare all of the items that I had to bring to school that day for three class Thanksgiving celebrations.  By 8:30am I was at school prepping the kindergarten classroom with a couple of other moms for their feast.  All five classrooms were to put all of the food in the hallway and then we were suppose to make plates for each child.  Talk about chaos.  All of the food sent was in various stages of preparedness.  From an unopened can of green beans to a fully cooked turkey in a roasting pan.  But the end result was good, the kids all had a plate of food set in front of them by the time they came back from their fun outside.  Papa and Chris arrived just in time to enjoy a feast with Ainsley.  I headed to the first grade celebration to help get that one started.  I showed up and I was the only parent there.  Luckily other parents showed up closer to the start time and were willing to pitch in to help.  Even Papa and Chris passed out hotdogs and napkins.  That’s right hotdogs.  Ainsley had a turkey dinner with all of the fixings and Ben had turkey hotdogs.  Both were tasty and fun!  After cleaning up for both classrooms and checking the younger two out of school, we headed home quickly to pick up a quick bite to eat for me (who didn’t have time to eat at either meal) and then head back to school for Madie’s family celebration.  The entire class prepared slide show presentations to share with their families.  It was cool to be there.  And we were all glad that Papa got to join us for everything.  I think he had a good time too.
