| The Little Red Schoolhouse by Larry Dyke |
I couldn't quite get myself in the mode for Saturday Centus today, so I decided to post this year's back-to-school photos of my grandkids instead, along with a nostalgic little poem to serve as captions. Hope you enjoy Heather's handiwork as much as I did!
Each year, we all went back to school
reminded of the golden rule
by parents who expected much:
good manners, grades, and other such.
Some of us went off with a smile,
happy to go and stay awhile;
while some could only wear a frown,
as schoolwork dragged their spirits down.
But most were hoping for the best,
expecting they would pass each test,
and praying for a teacher who
would find good things for them to do.
Some worked real hard and thought a lot.
as teacher's pet, they earned their spot.
But others played around a bit...
made mischief, for the fun of it.
Still, all the kids were good at heart
and mostly glad for school to start!
(Even Mr. tough guy).

I love to look back at those first-day-of-school photos. Such hope, such innocence! Your grandchildren are beautiful - may they each have a year full of good experiences.
The cute grandkids, the photos and the poem all match and make a great photo essay.
Cute kids and poem!
What fun pics! They go so great with the poem. Your Grands are just the cutest and you can really see the personalities of each. Hope this school year brings only good things!
They're adorable...and getting more so all the time!
I'm hoping we move off the ABC thing and back to more "normal' prompts soon.
xo :)
Those are such lovely photos! I love her creativity! What a treasure for that family! And i love your words!

Sweet shots of your precious grandkids, Sue. Sure hope they have another wonderful school year!
Lovely poem and beautiful children. What can I say it was just sweet.
Blessings and hugs!
I love the poem and the photographs are amazing.
I imagine Carly IS teacher's pet. She just looks like she would be. So what grades are they all in now?
Beautiful grandchildren! I always enjoy seeing them.
Where ever did you that beginning picture? Does it have a name? I would love to get a copy of it.
These are beautiful pictures of your grandness , Sue! (Well done, Heather...) I cant believe how big they're getting- Carli is turning into such a beautiful girl, Jeremiah so handsome, and the little guy is adorable (and looks like he's full if tricks too!)
So sweet Sue! I guess I dread it when my kids have gone back because I remember how I felt when I had to go back. I hated it! But it looks like your grandkids are good to go!
