Goodbye to VPK

Well, it's funny-moving-meal time around here. Today for lunch the children and I are having grilled cheese and pepperoni sandwiches on hamburger buns, plus the last of our farm-fresh carrots. Plus more of our sanitized emergency water rations which we are not moving.

On our way home from school, I told Xander I had made his sandwich and it would be all ready for him when we got home.

Silence for a minute.

"Oh!" he said, "I bet that sandwich will be edible."

They had learned the word "edible" in class today. I enjoyed his comment as much as I have enjoyed more enthusiastic descriptions of my cooking. :)

At the end of this post I'll include the picture I took of Xander and Ms. Heather as we were leaving his VPK class for the last time. I cried on the way home. I have just loved his teachers and school so much and so has he. He was cheerful and happily said goodbye. I wonder if he will be sad later, in Texas, when he realizes what moving to another state means.

He gave Ms. Valerie and Ms. Heather mugs he had painted which I then glazed and filled with hot cocoa and herbal tea packets. Ms. Heather cried when she opened hers and Ms. Valerie said that Xander was one of their favorites.
