He did it!

Today is better. Thanks for listening to me whine! Today was the academic UIL meet held for our district. There was 5 schools that competed in various events and the meet was held at our school. Although it was a good amount of work for our staff, it turned out to be a great day! Since Kamron got sick last week, he has been very upset that he would not be able to participate in his "Oral Reading" event. We have had lots of tears at our house over him not being able to participate. Today I got to school and our principal asked if I would allow him to come up and read his poem and then return home when finished. It made his day! He had that sparkle back in his smile when I told him! Todd's mom came to Muleshoe to take care of him these next few days so she brought him up in time for his event. He made the finals and ended up placing 3rd out of 20! He did super! He was SUPER tired when he got home and went to bed quite early, but all the hard work paid off. Tyler was in Spelling and Listening Skills. He didn't place in Spelling but his Listening TEAM got 1st place! He didn't place individually but helped the team to 1st place! VERY proud of both boys. They did super today!
