Push Me - Pull You . . . or

There are TWO programs tonight?????

Yes, with having 6 grandkids in 4 different schools (including a pre-school, K-2, 3-5, and 6-8) the probability of overlapping programs proved true twice this week.

The two kinders each had programs that I was unable to attend, due to an appointment in the next town. Sigh. I missed out on butterscotch-flavored Friendship Soup in the boy's room. His mama tells that tale here. Seems the children were asked to bring something - anything (and the tell-tale instructions - Think Outside of the Box) they would like to add to the soup. Heh! I would have loved to have a taste of that soup.

And, then, the evening programs. Two different grands - two different schools - both with Thanksgiving themes - both wanting grandparents to attend. Waaahhh!

We did the only thing we could do . . . Paw-Paw attended one, and Nana attended the other. But we have pictures of both - yay!!!

Here we have the 2nd grader performing . . .

Have you ever seen a gap-toothed indian?

That's some grin, eh?

and a wave to all the parents:

meanwhile . . . . a couple of miles away . . . on the other side of the town . . .

the 5th graders were performing.

Mairi's the shaker!

and a singer

and a presenter.

The four classes had to research native American cultures, write theme papers (from which the script for the night was taken), learn songs and dances, and make displays in their rooms from the information they had learned. It was all quite interesting and entertaining.

The next entry will have highlights from Thanksgiving.
