When we got there we all found seats and waited for the program to begin. When the kids came walking in, it was so cute to see them all searching for their grandparents and there was much waving of hands and lots of big smiles as they spotted them. Jeremiah was no exception---very vigorous waving and his face just lit up!! They sang some songs, complete with actions and some serious "air guitar" by Jeremiah. They also recited some Bible verses and a couple of poems about apples and pumpkins.
After the program we went into the classroom and there were three activities for the kids to do with their grandparents. They strung beads and leaves on yarn to make a necklace, made a leaf booklet, and decorated a page for their memory books.
Making the leaf booklet with Grandma Wissink.
Modeling his necklace.
Jeremiah also showed us some of his favorite things to play with at pre-school. He showed us the "orbies," which are soft, squishy little marble-type things. He also showed us the tractors (of course--this is Jeremiah we're talking about!)
He showed us how to use the "stompers."
Not as easy as it looks.
And a photo op with Grandma and Grandpa.
And of course our visit gave us a chance to spend some time with Hope again. We got in on bath time---not a "dunk in the sink" type of bath, but it did involve shampooing her beautiful hair!
She's keeping an eye on Big Brother!
Hair all combed--and it stays like that until it's dry. :)
Could she be an cuter?
And there is never enough "snuggle time" as far as Grandma is concerned. I could sit and hold her all day long. :) She is such a precious bundle!
This visit was a rather short one. We drove over on Wednesday afternoon, had Grandparents' Day on Thursday, and then left for home again after dinner that evening. We had a plumber coming on Friday morning to take care of a kitchen sink problem, so we had to be home for that.
Next big event for us is our trip to California, from Nov. 20 to Dec. 3. No new posts until we're back home again.
