Hi.So, I've been taking pictures and noticing things to post on our blog, but I can't ever remember how to download the pictures. Also, after I think about it for a minute, I realize that the various events are probably not of interest to anyone other than ourselves. But finally we have had an event that is truly news worthy! Tonight was the awards ceremony for the PTA art contest. KayBee had submitted an entry -- under duress. She and I went -- just to see the other art work and to support the cause. Much to K's surprise, she won first place in the middle school division for visual arts. Then at the end of the evening she found out that she had also won a"dramatic interpretation" award, and so her entry will be going on to the state level. She was so mortified and embarrassed. At least she smiled nicely for the publicity photo. The whole evening she was blushing and looking like she wanted to evaporate. On the way home she explained how bad she felt:
"Mom, I started it at 9:00 at night the day before it was due! Some of those other kids worked for hours and days on theirs. They really wanted to win."
She admitted that she was happy to win, but felt a bit guilty for doing so. She did comment that next time, she would spend more time on it, so that she might do well at the state level also. There are 2 more upcoming art contests. I hope she will take them more seriously now!
Love to everyone,
Maaawwwwmm!
