Grandparents' Day at Little Angels

The week of April 16 was the "Week of the Young Child."  To celebrate, we invited our grandparents to join us at school on Friday...  Grandma Banana, Grandma Candy and Papa Lollipapa all made the road trip to join us at school.  Papa Pizza almost made it, but he ended up having to stay and work... he called and asked lots of questions, and Grandma brought him back lots of pictures, artwork and a flower from each of us.

Mommy and Daddy got us ready, then they went to work for the day... we didn't really care if they stayed with us anyway :-)  After breakfast and a few pictures, we headed to school - Papa drove Mommy's car with his GPS!  We dropped Brooke off at Ms. Tracy's, so we could have more attention and time at school.



At school, we got to show off where our name tags are, where we sign our name, where we get our "chore" bracelets, what the "super star" logo is...



We also planted flowers with our grandmas... we made a stick with "I Love You," our names, and a sticker to mark the flowers.  Our grandparents were lucky - they each got two flowers to take home!




It was also "outer space" week...  Kylie enjoyed sharing her "space rocks" with Papa, and the Grandmas were in the space shuttle, too!


We shared the art projects in the hallway... specifically, why our grandparents are out of this world (it fit the space ship theme!).


There was also a crayon "Wall of Fame" that everyone signed...





Across from the crayons, we had drawn pictures of ourselves... and guessed how many hammers tall we were! 



We did a few art projects, too, so our grandparents had new pictures to hang up...



... and sang the very special song we've been practicing for a very long time...
"Love Can Build a Bridge" - complete with all of the sign language for every word!



After school, we picked up Brooke - and went to Burger King (the "Climbing Place") for lunch.  Many of our friends were there with their parents!  We spent a lot of time climbing, then headed home to play in the backyard.  We helped pick rhubarb and make rhubarb crisp for supper...  Aunt Angie even came for supper because she likes rhubarb crisp so much!
It wouldn't be fair to have all those pictures of Kylie and Neela with our grandparents, without a few of Brooke... so here you go:

Tickle Attack!

Happy Grandparents Day!  We love you!
