Another Family Cake Decorating Contest at Indian Trail Elementary School! So--another night of staying up late cleaning up frosting in colors that you didn't know were possible, and wondering yet again-"how the kids possibly got frosting there"!
But-as always, seeing the pride on Delaney's face when she comes out with her little blue ribbon and a big smile on her face because we won a prize and all of her classmates loved it, was totally worth it!
The kids also got good news at school this week--Drew got Student of the Month for Music and Delaney got student of the month for her first grade class. Of course, in the Adams' household, there is never a moment when all 5 kids are happy. So, Dawsyn immediately falls apart because she didn't get it for her class! Drew tries to make things better by explaining that the odds of all three of them getting student of the month at the same time are "way out there". This did not help the situation. Drew explaining this to her was equivalent to a few days earlier when she was trying to explain to him what he should have done when a "secret admirer" gave him his first "check yes or no" letter.
Dawsyn was all into this, while Drew acted totally disgusted. He said that, first of all, this girl obviously isn't the "brightest crayon in the box", since she had her friends bring it to him and say it was from a secret admirer, but then she signed her name to it! I asked him if he circled yes or no. He said he circled "or". That's Drew! I tried to tell him he better be careful. He doesn't want to burn bridges he may someday want to cross! The days he does start crossing them will be the days that I'll wish we were back to cleaning frosting off our walls at one in the morning!
