Well, I thought today was going to be a typical Friday. It's usually busy but seems a little more relaxed...maybe because teachers wear jeans on that day?? Hmm... I knew we had the long awaited Geography Bee and we were very excited to watch Alex and Mikal compete. We are able to watch the Bee from our rooms on our TVs while the kids compete in the library. Everything was going great. We were into the fourth round and our Geo Bee Stars were still in it....and then everything went dark! We had a power outage. Now, you haven't really experienced a power outage until you have done it with 23 nine and ten year olds!! We were without power for a little over an hour and I have to say the kids handled it great!! They stayed calm and did everything I asked of them. The problem was that we had no idea how Alex and Mikal were doing.....we busied ourselves by taking a spelling test and reading The Lion, Witch and Wardrobe. (The kids love this book.)
As we were reading, in walked Alex and Mikal.....smiling from ear to ear. Alex made it to the fifth round and Mikal was in the top ten! Way to go you two! We are sooo proud of you! You are our Geo Bee stars!
We also had a visitor stop by in the morning. Annika brought her best friend, Lizzy. She dressed her all nice and warm. You can't see it in the picture but she even had her pearl necklace on. Very sweet!
