Last Day of School - 2010

Too cool for the last day of school!

I took the day off of work so I could enjoy the boys for their last day of school. I remember as a kid the last day of school was the best day ever!

I met some friends up near work to eat lunch. We ate at Wingnuts. It ended up being a big hit for the boys. A new favorite! The great thing about the place is that it is pretty healthy.... no fried stuff. Everything is baked. It was delicious!

We all got a sweet treat at the Sweet Tooth Fairy! I think the boys liked this part of the day best of all.

I actually didn't have Ikea on the days plan, but when I mentioned something about needed to stop and get something the boys were excited! I am glad they love Ikea as much as I do. There are so many cool things to look at.

We took a quick swim at The Legacy Center. Gman had just hurt his foot. That is the best smile I could have him muster for the photo. He hit his leg on the slide and was fine after a few minutes. It left a nasty bruise.... which matched the other 6 bruises he has on his legs.... BOYS!

You might be wondering where Conner was all day long.

He was offering his services to a scout project he had commited too. There was a scout auction a few weeks ago were Conner donated 4 hours of weeding. His bid came in at $40. He figured he better pay up before he left for this Dad's for the month of June. What a great kid! I was told he did a fabulous job and worked hard. We sure did miss him.

As we all gathered at home around 3:30 I received word that my Grandma Dean had passed away a few minutes earlier. We all knew she was sick but the words still came as a jolt. Stockton said, "What a wierd feeling day. We had so much fun and all the sudden it feels kinda sad. I guess that is how life is sometimes. Sad things help me like my happy times even more. I will miss Grandma Great."

I will miss her too.

It is interesting to hear what kids feel when death happens. As an adult, I know I can deal with loss, but with kids, especially if it is the first time dealing with death, can be difficult.

Sounds like a great day... I love how 'grandma great' has stuck and spread.
