Day 99 - April 9

Yesterday and today I was the Bee Master for the school spelling bees.  Yesterday's went FOREVER ... a 4th grade boy and 3rd grade girl kept alternating getting easy and hard words so they kept going but it took awhile for someone to win.  Today's was much quicker because it was only 6 fifth graders.

Just before the bee, this kid's parents showed up in the office.  When I saw his dad, I said "Oh I didn't know you were back!" And surprisingly, the dad's reply was "Neither does he."  So the office called him down so that he could see and say hi to his dad before it was his turn to spell hard words on stage. :)  AND ... he won.  So that was exciting for him.  Good day for that family all around, and they have the state tournament of another activity the kid is involved in tomorrow so it gives ya the warm fuzzies. :)
