The day I forgot my brain in bed...

Grandma Day (Grandpa, too!) came & told stories in both 

the boy's classes in May.  This is always something

we look forward to...

I would have loved to have been there to share in the experience, 

but that was the day I forgot my brain in bed

and decided to weed my garden instead.

ALL day I kept thinking I was forgetting something

and even before I went to sleep that night,

I said to Hannah, "I really feel like I forgot something today!"

Well, at least Ian's teacher was on top of things and 

got a picture of BOTH Grandma & Grandpa with Ian -

front row, left corner, green shirt.

I was seriously sick over my absence that day!

I wanted to push the rewind button and start over!!

When I read Linda's email the next morning explaining that she
 had such a wonderful time

telling stories in the boys' classrooms, it all came to me 

in a flash that THAT was what I had forgotten!

Blah.

All was not lost, though, because Grandma told stories a few days

later at our ward's "Teacher Appreciation Night."

Her part of the program was fabulous, as always, 

and she really made the evening memorable.

Here's the centerpieces I made for each table.

I put yellow daisies in the jars once we got to the church.

Thank you, Pinterest!

 Ian and Mrs. Heiman

 Alec and Mr. Spring - Alec's favorite teacher from 3rd grade.

 The teachers that the girls invited couldn't make it,

so they invited Grammy - a teacher and willing

participant. :)

And a very forgiving mother-in-law,

who has probably left her head in bed once or twice herself.  :)
