Maddi's Award.

On the last day of school, I got a phone call from my friend April. Her daughter is in Maddi's class at school. She asked me if I had gotten a phone call from their teacher telling me that Maddi was going to be getting an award at the Awards ceremony in a few hours. I hadn't been called! I hurried as fast as I could to get showered, find somewhere for Andrew to play, tricked my neighbor that watching two babies wasn't hard, and ran over to the school, camera in hand. When I got there, there were a bazillion people there and half of the school (the other half had their awards ceremony earlier in the day) I had no idea what award Maddi was getting, none of the parents did. But I was SOOOO excited when Maddi got one of the four academic awards they handed out!!! I was so proud of her! Ok, I know this is just kindergarten, but I was SOOO happy for her and just so grateful she didn't inherit my lackluster zest for schoolwork. ( don't tell her I said that :) )

Here's Maddi getting up and shaking the principals hand and accepting her award.

There were four academics and four citizenship awards. Here's the rest of the kids in her class that got them.

She must have gotten her smarts from her Dad.
Thinking about it, I'm sure that she did because he's a smarty pants.
