A Great Day!!

The day we had long awaited arrived! Benton Paul was coming to do an assembly at Brendan's school. Of course, this was not something I was going to miss, so I took Carson and Jordan with me to see him perform! He did a great job!! He sang The Devil, Good Habit (which made my kids very happy!), a new song, The Bottom and I Only See You. He had Mrs. Paul select 10 kids to come up for a dance contest during Good Habit. It was funny. The kids just weren't really dancing, but Jordan was totally shakin' it where we were sitting! We were sitting by some teachers and they were totally getting a kick out of Jordan! Too bad he wasn't eligible! The best dancer won a CD. Cool for him!


So during the performance, Benton said, "Look at those Benton Paul t-shirts!" and pointed to Brendan's class. I just assumed that Mrs. Paul gave the class shirts. When it was over, we went up to see Brendan and Mrs. Paul. She said that a girl's Mom in Brendan's class made them for the whole class and Mrs. Paul. They are AWESOME! I so want one. Mrs. Paul told me that when she gave Brendan his shirt, she said, "Your Mom is going to want one of these!" She was so right. Mrs. Paul's is awesome because hers is pink. The rest are grey (fitting since Benton's album is titled 'Grey.') So nice for that Mom to do that. Brendan was really excited.

After the assembly, when the lunchroom had cleared out, they took a class picture on the steps.



I just had to get a pic with Brendan and the Paul's:

Then they went back to class. Benton came to their class and signed all of their shirts, and anything else they wanted signed. Brendan had made a origami guitar that he keeps at school and Benton signed that for him. So cool. I can't get over it! A really great day!!

That afternoon, Paul called me and told me he saw the coolest t-shirt he'd see on someone riding Trax. I told him that I saw the coolest t-shirt I'd ever seen today too! I told him Brendan's story and he thought that was awesome. Me too!
