Franklin comes to Visit

Soon after Gretchen started school, she started talking about Franklin the stuffed turtle. Franklin goes home with one of the kids on Friday and they bring him back on Monday with stories and pictures of their weekend. Every Friday morning for the past month Gretchen has been hoping and praying that it would be her time to get him for the weekend. Well, Friday was her lucky day. She got off the bus with an extra backpack and a big huge smile. It turned out to be a great weekend for her to have him, Aunt Lynnette was having a Halloween party on Saturday evening for her band.
Friday evening the kiddos and Ray headed out to the farm to get some straw for a straw ride Saturday evening. Trevor was having a hard time adjusting to the fact that Franklin was not ours and would be returned to school on Monday morning.





The kids up in the barn loft out at the farm. They love being out there. Mom didn't enjoy the cow smell they brought home with them. :)
I'd say Franklin had a good time with Gretchen and Trevor. Trevor was sad to see him leave this morning and made sure to give him an extra hug and kiss.

That's just like that monkey you brought home! Did Franklin meet the other Franklin?
