A close finish

Today was the County Social Studies Fair. There were 97 projects and 8 or 9 categories. Chloe's category (World History) was second largest. We spent the whole morning there. Chloe went out to do her speech and presentation. Then later she was called back in for a tie breaker. This evening we went to to the presentation of the awards. Chloe had tied for first and the tie breaker put her in second with a score of 99 (out of a possible 100) and the first place winner got 100. I was very proud! She also did all this with a 100 degree fever, a constant cough, and raging asthma. No school for her tomorrow, she needs a rest!

Awards and Ears

Today was Awards Day at school. Chloe got several awards and was recognized for several things. Only three more days left of school!



Yesterday Phoebe came in and said "ears". I turned to look at her and saw this:



It's a terrible picture of her and she has spaghetti sauce all over her face, but it's hilarious! She loves Mr. Potato Head (or Mr. Tomato Head as Owen says). She wears the glasses often too:



I think she wonders why I'm laughing at her. :)
