The students at the girls' school recently entered a poster contest for Arbor Day. The posters were all sent to the high school and judged by the high school art club. I think there were 3 winners per grade......and Paige won 1st place for Kindergarten!! The presentation of the awards was at 12:00, so we had just enough time to have a hotdog at the softball fields before running over to the Arbor Day celebration. In fact, we walked up about 2 minutes before they called Paige's name. Paige had no idea she was a winner, so she was a little surprised when she heard her name. Kaeli didn't win anything and while she was understandably a little jealous, she handled herself very well and seemed happy for her sister. We haven't seen the poster yet, but it's supposed to be framed and then hung in the Town Hall along with all the winner's posters. I certainly hope they give it to us after that. I will take a picture of it at my earliest opportunity to post here. There will also be a tree planted in Paige's honor and it's supposed to have a little plaque with her name on it.
Here's Paige with her certificate
Here's Paige with Eme. Eme is the daughter of a good friend of mine and is very good friends with Kaeli and Paige. Congratulations Eme!!
After the Arbor Day festivities we headed home for a real lunch with Mom-Mom and Pop-Pop. Not too long after that Paige and I had to run out to Toys R Us to buy a gift before attending a birthday party. We got to the party just in the nick of time at 3:00. We finally got home around 4:45 and I was TIRED! I certainly slept well last night and I think all the kids did as well.
The girls are supposed to have practice today, but I'm hoping it will be cancelled due to all the rain we got overnight. But, other than practice we have NOTHING on the agenda and that is a great feeling!
