On Veterans Day we took some time in the morning to talk about a flag I made at school with students. They were asked to write the name of a veteran they know on a star. All of the stars were combined or 'united' to form a flag. I spoke with the boys about various veterans I know . . . my uncle, my grandfather and a good friends' husband. They all had different jobs spanning WWII as a cook, part of the Marines Frozen Chosen in the Vietnam War where my uncle fought for this
country in -40degF weather for days/months on end in nothing but a few
layers of wool or in Afghanistan delivering water. All important jobs, all serving our country.
Then we were off for some fun on this day off of school (me too!) Off to RMSC to take in the new exhibit Earth: Air, Wind and Fire. We spent the day learning while we played, had waffles for lunch and watched the Parent Trap movie. What a great way to spend the day with the boys, laughing and having fun . .. precious time.
