School delays & Quick recall

Let's see...today was a great start to the day! An extra hour to sleep and a 2 hour delay meant our students were pretty low key! In the education field & working with kids, usually anything out of the ordinary creates crazy but luckily not today! The cold temps and delay meant attendance was down and thank goodness so was drama!  There had been a shooting over the weekend involving one of our students & I was kind of dreading returning to school after the break, but everything was pretty smooth given the circumstances. 

After a pretty easy day I picked up the kiddos and found out zach was having his first quick recall match! We seemed to be the only parents unaware of the schedule...poor zach & one of the challenges of being a fairly gifted kid is his totally lack of organization! However he made up for it at the match. During the whole first round he sat out...reading a book no less instead of paying attention to the match and questions. I have yet to give him the business about that! When it was his turn to go in they were down by 11 points. The other team only needed 3 more to win. That's when zach started firing them off! They caught up & before we knew it, tied up the match. They went into overtime and the opposite team was declared the winner but before we left, there were some challenges and we didn't hear the final outcome. It all came down to a question that zach got wrong when he identified the word "bicycle" as a noun. According to the question booklet it was a "direct object" and then there was a showdown between moms, teachers, coaches and judges at the end! We just left as we didn't need to see an argument and regardless of the outcome they did great! I was super proud of Zachary! 


My only pic of the day..not so classy! 
Frosty got disrespected by the neighbors dog.  We caught him making a great escape from our yard.  I took this picture as a joke for my brother...his reply was "he only has one eye..he didn't even see it coming!"  Poor guy! I guess his day wasn't so great! 

2 hour delay again tomorrow! -15 degree windchill expected. Ready for spring!
