The Gibson mother wanted to bring Grant's boy classmates together before the school year began. So, a messy party was planned. T-Shirts were spray painted. Jello balloons were tossed. Dirt pudding was eaten. Life Savers were sought after in whip cream pies. Mud was abundant in tug-a-war. Soapy water was splashed all around on the slip-n-slide racetrack. Silly string was discovered. And water fights were aplenty.
Boys need to be boys; they truly defined the word "boy" yesterday. They embraced it. They dove right in, figuratively and literally.
And I loved it. I loved watching them be their boyish selves. Running, jumping, getting disgusting. Having water fights, going crazy with the water balloons. Most of all, I relished their huge smiles and carefree spirits.
Over the past 3 school years, I am beginning to know these little guys better. And I have seen what special kids they are. They are most often filled with joy, seeing it in their smiles and bouncy demeanor. Grant is blessed to have such wonderful classmates. It's going to be fun watching them grow over the years.
