never too old to learn...

You can learn a few things by attending "bring your family to school lunch day"
here is what I discovered...

Cameron - he was super excited to get out of class early - he doesn't really care about food - when we got to the line there was a tray of different fruits, a tray with vegetables, a tray with jello and a tray with pizza - I asked him (the very same him who was the cafeteria worker ALL last week) if you were aloud to take something off each tray or just one?? - he didn't know (which means he has had hot lunch for 5 years now and doesn't know what his options are in line - hmmm) - he can eat REALLY fast at school (which is why he isn't in any of the pictures) - and finally, his friends are WAY more important than his mom or brothers (btw - that wasn't a shocker)!
Reagan - the days he has hot lunch are a total waste of money - he can have only ONE item on his tray and still be the last one done - he still likes having his mom there - he really likes showing off his baby brother!
Wesley - will be a good eater next year when he gets to eat at school (finished everything but the cauliflower) - he can carry a tray without spilling - he is starting to make some friends (he asked me about 4 times if he could go say "hi" to people he knew) - he is growing up so fast!
Chase - is a good lunch partner if you are super hungry (he only ate his carrots) - he is starting to enjoy being mauled by 3rd graders who think he is cute - he likes being at school - he is darn cute (well, I guess that wasn't a new discovery, but should be mentioned anyway!).
Me - it isn't easy fitting my legs under cafeteria tables any more - the square, greasy things they use to call pizza 30 years ago were just wrong - it is still fun talking to your friends during school lunch - orange jello with a dab of cool whip is yummy when you are hungry - it isn't easy getting your legs out from under cafeteria tables either!
