School Rewards and End of 2009 Party.

When Joseph was in the second grade, oh so long ago, he was awarded a party at the local mini gran prix for himself and 5 friends. He said he doesn't know what he did to deserve it, but I think his teacher wanted to award him for the progress he had made throughout the year in becoming a straight A student and focusing more on school instead of playing and teasing the other students. I digress.

I FINALLY gave in and took him, he is now in third grade. We took our friends the Clements. What a great time we all had, although another adult in the mix would have made it a little easier. We had 2 adults and 7 kids. Three of which needed to have an adult on most of the rides (one in need of constant supervision or she might run off and get abducted again, and she is a fast little bugger!). Joseph however was tall enough to do everything by himself including the go-carts which he got 1st place in his race, he was so happy. This wouldn't have been possible when he was in second grade, so maybe I shouldn't beat myself up on holding off so long. He has grown a few inches since then.

He kept reminding me the whole time that this wouldn't have even happened if he didn't get the award. So here is a shout out to my Joe who made it possible to have a fun day with some friends. Here are some great scrapbook pages my friend Stacey made to celebrate the occasion. Thanks Stacey!

Also if you'd like to see her post about the day go here. Also Joe has a blog entry as well.


Good job JOE!! ...and thanks for sharing your award!
