Acrostics Poem

Last night I was invited to play Bunko with some of the girls from our Bible class. Jonathan has always been great about keeping the kids when I have something like this to do. Last night I had dinner ready and homework finished when he got home so at least he wouldn't have to deal with that on top of keeping all three of them. After finishing up dinner and having an hour long discussion with Jennah about being truthful (a story for another time) it was time for bed.

Jonathan said they were all in bed and Jack got up and told him that he had to get his Grandparents Day projects finished by Tuesday or he would not be able to play on recess. Jonathan went ahead and let him do it thinking I had forgotten about it or something. The project isn't due until the 22nd, but I guess as incentive to get it back earlier she made them miss recess until they returned it. He had to interview one Grandparent and write an acrostics poem for a Grandparent. We had talked Sunday about who he wanted to do each of the projects with. Nana for the interview and Grandma Janet for the acrostics poem. Jack told Jonathan what our plans were and they were off.

The interview turned out great; the acrostics poem on the other hand not so great. I looked at it when I got home last night and laughed until I was crying. Jonathan and Jack are not the most creative people in the world let me show you what they came up with.

Great
Ready
Always nice
Nice
Delightful
Misses
Always ready

Joyous
Always good
Neat
Ever loving
Tries to help

I really appreciate all that Jonathan does, and I am definitely not super creative but poems are just not a strength of his. I was able to help Jack change some of the poem and it turned out okay.
