In the Bag
Grandparents Day is tomorrow (Sunday), 9/12 – a holiday popularized in recent years. Our elementary school celebrates the Friday before. Until this year, Keith’s parents have always been on vacation in September. So – much to Julia’s delight – they drove in from Houston to be honored at the school with orange juice, mini-muffins and a review of her assigned project.
The students could create any “thing” they wanted to honor their grandparents. Some wrote songs, essays or poems; some built PowerPoints; some drew elaborate pictures and appended explanatory text. With Rachel’s guidance*, Julia created a tote bag. Why a tote bag? Well, because Jim and Rosalie are usually on vacation at this time, and tote bags are handy for the car.
I thought this bag was so cute, I didn’t even mind its paint splattered on Julia’s only-worn-it-once yellow shirt. I put the shirt aside for “mud night” at children’s camp next year – she can throw it away rather than bring it home.
Jim and Rosalie are now on their way back home to Houston – with the bag. It was a gift, you see – like their coming here.
Happy Grandparents Day!
* If your house doesn’t have a Rachel-who-is-good-with-crafts, you really need to pick one up. I think they’re at Hobby Lobby, between the Styrofoam balls and the glitter pens.
