Free family history project for Grandparents Day

Grandparents Day is Sept. 7  

Free downloadable Family History project.

 By Kiddie Academy

Since 1978, the first Sunday after Labor Day has been officially designated as Grandparents Day. 

More than a reason to sell greeting cards, this annual event recognizes the strength, love and guidance grandparents provide to families. Although the recognized date is Sept. 7 this year, any day is a great opportunity to celebrate grandparents.

I really enjoyed the Coolest House on the Block program I won through SheSpeaks and Snickers. A lot of ghosts and goblins came to visit our home and I dressed up to greet them at the door. I even gave  mummies some of the new candy to taste.

Having fun at the pumpkin patch

My granddaughter Kristen, and grandson Dylan, have a great time every time they go to a pumpkin patch. The last time Kristen went, she found a lot of new uses for corn.
