Kody says good bye to Ms. Amy

We learned on Tuesday that Ms. Amy (a teachers assistant in her classroom) is leaving! That darn navy decided to send her husband to Washington state. lame. at least for Kody.  

Together, well mostly Kody, we decided to make Ms. Amy a little going away gift! Kody told me that in "Washington, where Grandpa Leo lives, there is alot of rain. Remember it rained alot and alot the last time we lived at Grandpa Leo's house. Remember?"
To which I replied, "Yes, I remember how much it rains back home in Washington. An umbrella is a good idea. We can buy one and then you can color on it. You can make it a special umbrella for Ms. Amy."
YIPPEE!! is all I hear from her.

She was so excited to start this for Ms. Amy

This is the school, with lots of windows where she goes to learn with Ms. Amy & Mrs. Karen

Kody testing the umbrella.

At this stage in the photos, you should have noticed that she started coloring a red umbrella and now it is black. Well, after she finished the red one, she broke it.
Sidebar: Am I the only one who knows a good umbrella from a bad one? Really does TOTE not sell umbrellas anymore? If so, why don't they sell them down here!! It does rain. Ugh. Sorry Ms. Amy you get a semi good one instead of great one. But honestly, you should be framing this work of art and not actually using it when it rains. hee-hee.

Ms. Amy's umbrella all decorated and ready for use in the Great Pacific Northwest! 
What a lucky girl!

Kody will miss Ms. Amy very much, but we wish her and her husband the best!!

Tag! you're it!!
