A bunch of Grandmas

Harrison and Hudson's class went to the local nursing home last week to sing fall and Halloween songs. It was their official first field trip and I was nervous about it....control issues? Maybe. It was just hard to think of them getting in a vehicle driven by someone not in our family and traveling somewhere. Anywho, all went well and their teacher said they did a great job and they danced up a storm. When Joel got home that evening we were sitting outside and he asked the boys who did they go and sing to today? "Ummm, a bunch of grandmas" replied Harrison and honest as ever. WE DIED!! We laughed so hard. He said they were real nice and wanted to hug him, he thought they were great.

On the subject of grandmas, Harrison's middle name is Shaw, my mom's maiden name. Our only living grandparent is my Granny Shaw. When he stayed with my mom a couple weekends ago and was saying his prayers, he prayed for himself, and said, " and God bless Harrison Grandma Shaw Pierce". It must be a little confusing for him but it is really funny when he tells us that is his full name.

Here are some pics from this weekend:

Joel and Charlie were two of our Escorts, Jason and his dog Skeeter were our other two :)

I took the boys with me yesterday after school to go vote. They were very inquisitive as to what voting entailed. I explained that we would go in the voting house and push a button and then go home. They were VERY excited which made me worry that they were going to be severely let down. When we left the precinct Hudson fell apart in the parking lot. He was crying and saying he didn't want to go home because he didn't get to get into the BOAT and push any buttons!! Aaaahhhh.... that one was hard to explain.
