Today was an exciting day for Gabriel at school. Not only was it Popcorn Friday, but he also got a special surprise. Since the kids didn't go to school today, I sent notes to school with them today explaining that Ben had deployed very early in the morning the day before and that the kids hadn't felt up to going to school. It seems that Gabe's school has some kind of deployment support program, and he brought this backpack home from school:
It contained a variety of goodies...a writing pad and envelopes, crayons, a ruler, a magnet, two stuffed pandas from the VFW, dog tags, a book and a Sesame Street DVD about deployment. I love that they do things like that for the kids.
Onward to day 3....
