Did you have a wonderful Grandparent's Day yesterday? Its one of the biggest, most important holidays of the year, I hope that you celebrated it big time!!
We were invited by Sugarwing's school to come in for a grandfolk's breakfast and got to stay and play a while afterwards.
We all got dressed up for the event, my husband insisted on wearing a jacket. I always nag at him to never wear clothes that have to be drycleaned when he is not at work. But I am cheap, so personally I don't own a single thing that needs to be drycleaned. Most of my clothes are from the thrift store or a clearance rack, it was be silly to pay more to clean them than I did to buy them.
But he was right, it was an important occaision for our little fairy and she enjoyed helping us pick out just the right outfits this morning before school. Its nice to have a reason to foof up a bit. I've been wearing my paintin duds every day lately, whether I'm doing any of the remodel work or not.
This is actually the very first time we have celebrated this day. It was so nice of the school to do something like this, and there was a huge turn out. The parking lot was filled, and overflowed onto the streets. The rooms were packed with doting grandparents wearing dopey smiles as their little ones gave them hand made cards and sang songs to us.
Yep, a beautiful day.

Happy Grandparent’s Day, Karla!
Oh my goodness…its a Mini-Karla. She is so gorgeous. All smiles around you. What a proud grandmother you must be. My kids loved celebrating grandparents day during preschool almost as much as their grandparents…smiles…Renee
Darn, woman, you just don’t look like a grandma, lol! Still, doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate in style.
Hi Karla,
We too really enjoy Grandparents Day celebration at our granddaughters’ school. It is so honoring and refreshing to see this done in an age where it seems sometimes that after you reach a certain age, you are deemed to be irrelevant. And good for you dressing up for the special occasion it really is!! I believe this adds respect to the event itself and this seems to be lacking in our society too these days. Sugarwings looks so proud and happy to have you there!! Our day is Friday and we always look forward to it.
Just want to say Awwww ! Precious!
Karla, that is just the day for you!:) I love it, and the pics just show how much fun everyone had!
Hey Karla,
I tried making some of the little blinged out birdhouses…come on over and see.

I still can’t get that sad picture of sugarwings out of my mind from her first day at school. I assume you found an alternative to full kindergarden for her for this year.
She sure looks happy now in this picture with her grandpa and you.
Grandparents day isn’t celebrated by the older classes but I can remember when we did go.
Your kitchen remodelling is coming along marvellous. I can’t wait to see it finished. I like the idea of the tin ceiling. It is just so you.

Karla,
How very sweet!!! It is so nice of the school to do that and so wonderful that so many grandparents showed up. Makes me sad that our kids don’t get to live close to their grandparents. Enjoy every minute with your sweet little Sugerwings and her baby sister! You are very lucky to have each other!
Hugs,
Michelle
P.S. Love the sweet photos! I think Sugarwings has your pretty sparkling eyes!
My mom goes to school for grandparent’s day with her great grandsons.
Sugarwings must have had the hunkiest grandpa!

Sugarwings has been looking like such a big girl in your posts but she looks like a tiny thing in grandpa’s arms! I’m glad you had such a nice day.
Nice to see pictures of honored grandparents! So touching!
