Rhoda Heaven

Tonight was my grandson's graduation-from-preschool program. Pretty cute! The children wore caps and gowns and did their program in the church sanctuary. Ryan was the first one to march down the aisle with Pomp and Circumstance...and was the last one out. They sang some songs and did the Chicken Dance. Got their "diplomas" and went on from there. In attendance were the Heffelman grandparents, the McNary grandparents, me, Meg, and sister Robin...oh...and Aunt Rhoda. Rhoda is Daddy's sister from California who came in for a wedding that everyone is attending this weekend. She brought Ryan a gift, and he hugged her endlessly.

After the ceremonies, we all went to Culver's for a treat. Ryan couldn't get enough of Aunt Rhoda. At one point he said, "I'm in Rhoda Heaven!" I think she loved that!

What no one noticed, behind the scenes, was that Grandma Peggy took Ryan for a haircut between the time she (I) got home and before he was required at church. We ate McD's fast food. In fact, we even had a few moments to spare! Ryan was unhappy because I would not let him go outside to play..and he didn't WANT to go to the ceremony...although his demeanor changed when he realized that he was the focus of our attention!

School is as school does.
By third period, a couple of my young "ladies" were hauled to the office. The police were called. Apparently, there was an exchange of drugs and both girls are suspended...with four days left! I keep telling the kids that their "stupid" behavior needs to be curbed so that they don't jeopardize their school career, but they don't get it.

I don't get it either because it is WAY past my bedtime. Ciao!
