It was grandparents day at the elementary school today and my cute grands invited me to have lunch with them. They were so excited and so was I. I got to enjoy cute little Macie this morning before going to lunch. I love Friday mornings with Macie....she's so cute. The kids took their lunch and so I did too. It's faster that way. We just walked into the gym and found a spot and enjoyed each other. I loved hearing Parker tell me about the hunt from last night. Mya told me about her fun night with her mom and Macie too. After we ate the kids took me to the Book Fair. Oh my word you could hardly walk around. Parker kept coming and getting me to show me some cool books. I preferred the hall where it wasn't so crowded. Parker did his best to get me to buy him a book. He smiled his cutest smile and even put his hands together in a pleading way. I kissed his cute face and reminded him of all the books I have at my house. I let the kids have one when they all sleep over as a reward (bribe) for going to sleep good. I promised that when all my books were gone I would buy more. I love books and if I didn't have so many already that my grands are welcome to take I would have gladly bought more.
My grands were happy with a pencil and a few pencil grips that they got to buy from little machines in the school. Mya actually had money that she was sharing with Parker. I told her I did have change and they could spend mine too. They really didn't care but took it anyway. The line in the book fair was so long anyway or I'm sure I would have let their cute little smiles sway me.
After lunch I went to Shanna's for book club. Shanna loves to entertain but today it was killing her back. I felt bad for her. Shanna goes all out and today the lunch was made from recipes she got from a book series by Josi Kilpack. She made Salmon potato soup, bread, spinach salad and key lime pie. It was all delicious. You might be wondering how I could eat again but the truth is I only took carrots and celery to school to eat with my grands. I'm not sure they would have even noticed if I wouldn't have taken anything but I did just in case.
Our time together at book club always goes so fast. I needed to leave and be home by 3:00 since Sadie was coming to stay the night with us. I thought that would allow us plenty of time but I think we could have went on for another hour or more. Suzie left first which was nice so I didn't have to be the first to go. I enjoy these ladies and the things we share. I enjoy our friendships. We discussed some good books and I was able to share a few of mine but for some reason I didn't come home with any. Hopefully next month something will sound more interesting to me.
