Quiet weekend, first one in a long time, and yesterday was my 34th wedding anniversary. Dear Difficult Grandson (DDG) was very dear and not at all difficult. He once again had to call my hubster and me to come get him from his father's house because he just cannot make it there. His father is a large, imposing man who yells, has a very short fuse, and gets somewhat physical with him. He was supposed to stay from Friday to Monday, but only made it from Saturday a.m. at 9 until dinnertime on Saturday. 11 people in the house, and DDG and his father have the same issues, so you know how that goes. DDG loves our neighborhood, roams around on his bike, talks up all the adults, visits garage sales, plays with the little kids, and everybody loves him.
It's cold and windy here, which my special needs students hate. I'm doing an activity I found in The Out of Sync Child Has Fun book. We recycle plastic shopping bags and using stickers, markers to decorate, some twine tied around the handles, and lengths of crepe paper for tails, we make Earth Day kites. The kids love it and even kids who tend to sit on the benches outside at every opportunity will run around and have fun.
So, happy Monday, all.
