family breakfast friday

Friday morning was a special day at SJ's school.  They have a Parent/Grandparent Breakfast for each grade.  Since SJ is in 6th grade, his breakfast was last and fell on last Friday.

I go to this breakfast with him every year. (Bob stopped wanting us to go after 4th grade.) I always enjoy sitting down with the boys and their friends.  

When we arrived at his school, both of us were hungry.  We went through the line and made out selections.  I took scrambled eggs, sausage and hash browns.  SJ took two regular (non-gluten free) donuts.  He was in heaven.

We found a seat at a table with Marshall (a frequent classmate of SJ's).  I chatted with Marshall's mom and SJ busily ate his donuts and drank his orange juice.  Topher's family got there shortly after we sat down.  They joined us at our table.  

After we were done, we were allowed to go to our kid's home room.  Mr. Brown was in there.  SJ showed me the room, his seat and a poem he wrote.  I was quite impressed.  

As I was headed to my job, I got a little sad that this is my last parent breakfast.  Although I was sad, I am overjoyed that we had these moments.
