I finally got to see my Little Sister lunch buddy, after return from their fall break yesterday. It went great! I treated her to a Happy Meal with apples & choc. milk, and she loved the little teddy bear that came with it. Her friends at the lunch table were acting goofy and putting the school lunch orange slices into their mouth & giving me huge, orangey smiles – so I started snapping pics of them with my phone. These 2nd-graders thought this was huge fun, and started trying to outdo each other with silly poses.

Since it was pouring down rain, we stayed inside after lunch, which was also great. I got to sit alone at a desk in the hall with her, and we drew each other great pictures with her crayons. I’d also brought her an activity book that had come (as an ad from Highlights) in the mail, which she loved.

I feel so blessed to be able to do this!
