Grandparents Day!

Friday was Grandparents Day at our school. It makes me sad that Cooper can't have his grandparents there. There are a lot of children that had that same circumstance. So instead, he chose a neighbor lady who likes to come over and visit with us. She was the first person to come and welcome us to the area. She likes to bop in every now and then to see how we are doing. Her name is Betty Sue. She reminds me a lot of my own Grandmother. She is a sweet lady and a little funny and quirky too. She also knows all the local gossip and stories! If you want to know something all you have to do is ask her. She also helped out with Cooper and Braedyn when I had Dr.s appt when I was pregnant with Jordan.
Cooper asked since his grandma and grandpa can't come can he bring Betty Sue. She of course said, "I would love to be his North Carolina Grandma"!  She was tickled!
I met her this morning in the parking lot at school. Cooper came over and gave her a high five. It was very cute. He had made her special place mat with a picture, story and hand prints and a little something else, which he had to make three sets:)! So he will send some to his real grandparents! They had little breakfast set up and he went with her to get food and they chatted at the table about school and hockey. Then the kids made a grandparent's survival kit with a lil poem attached. The kids got up and read the parts. I started to get teary eyed of course thinking about mom and dad! I know mom would have been in full tears with black mascara running down her cheeks! Right, Mom?
It was nice that she came to help Cooper celebrate the special day and also nice of Cooper to ask her as all her grand kids are grown up!

Then we had to take off to catch Braedyn's Terrific Kid award that morning. Pics to come!
