Some of you may not know, but I have a secret life. Well, it's really not so secret. I work part time as an optician. Right now we are short on help, so I'm also the fill in person. One of the ladies at work had a doctors appointment yesterday morning, so I got to fill in...and my Dad got to spend the morning and part of the afternoon with my kids. And if you're wondering...what about homeschooling? Well, the great thing is, you can do that any time of day (and we do), and we homeschool year round (thank you, Lord, that we decided that!)...so school will get made up.
Well, the kids and Grandpa had a great day. He found the Create channel on PBS. Mom and Dad have satellite, but we just have an antenna and digital converter box. I think Dad had fun finding new educational tv shows. Create had art and woodworking. So Dad and the kids all enjoyed the shows.
When I got home both kids were working on a drawing art project. Wyatt made a picture of a house, hills, grass, sun, and dog and wrote "I Love Grandpa. Love, Wyatt". Ellie was finishing a castle with the sun, a rainbow, and alligators in a moat. They gave their drawings to Grandpa when he left and we all gave him hugs.
They were all smiles and excited. The kids couldn't wait to tell me about their day. They had also painted and had a pile of paintings to show me. Little did I know Grandpa was going to homeschool! Though my parents are both good teachers, and Dad especially loves to learn new things. I am blessed to have young parents (and be the oldest in my family). I'm so glad they had that special day with Grandpa. I know that will be a wonderful memory for them.
