And yes, knucklehead IS kind of a genius. :) Actually all of my kids are freakishly smart, they just have a tendency to forget how smart they are as soon as puberty hits.<br /><br />Amy, I wanted my dad or my father-in-law to step in for this but both are unable to make it. My little brother (knucklehead's favorite uncle) lives right by the school and was invited, but his work schedule changed and he can't make it either. I know I could worm my way in there, since I work at the school AND constantly volunteer in his classroom, but I think I would cry, wishing that hubby could be there. Besides, if I go, I will EAT donuts, and that's the last thing I need!<br /><br />Jordan, I was thinking the exact same thing! Actually, judging by the overall tone of the letter, I think that's what hubby was going for - something our son will treasure for years to come.Gailehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07583013954989522924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7661407942753728954.post-47640803343757960982010-06-09T05:19:07.036-07:002010-06-09T05:19:07.036-07:00I just stated bawling, that was written so beautif...I just stated bawling, that was written so beautifully. You son will have that one day and it's going to mean more to him that he can even imagine right now I am sure.Jordan Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18125211405761101615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7661407942753728954.post-65393291581171782482010-06-09T04:14:10.859-07:002010-06-09T04:14:10.859-07:00That's awesome!

They were quite upset that I was not allowed to go with them. And I love the idea that Jenn posted in the comments about setting a date for donuts. Very cute.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02552301709839717118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7661407942753728954.post-85027074010705090092010-06-09T03:29:02.620-07:002010-06-09T03:29:02.620-07:00Maybe in your next care package you can send a pac...Maybe in your next care package you can send a package of Hostess powered donuts. You know the ones you find in the gas station. And then buy a pack for your son as well. Pick a date about a month out (giving plenty of time for the mail to get there) and have that be Donuts with Dad Day. Tell dh that he has to wait and eat the donuts on July 9th (or whatever) and have your son eat his that same day. I know it's not the same but there still will be a connection knowing that for one day he ate donuts just like dad. :) We did that with Hotess cupcakes to celebrate my hubbys bday while he was in Iraq. Oh, and take pictures to send to DH! :)<br /><br />And I have to say the letter was beautiful but I was like HOLY COW! Her son must be a genuis! :)Just Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00232329567497069688noreply@blogger.com
