Busy days!

This ladybug habitat was one of the bingo prizes for the chili cook off. Luke was so excited to catch a ladybug and take care of her. We found out that you can feed ladybugs raisins soaked in water.

The Walhalla middle school PTO second annual chili cook off and bingo family fun night was another success this year! We had a great time tasting 14 of the best chili recipes playing bingo and auctioning off fantastic items. I am very happy that it is over. I am looking forward to not being the president anymore.

So much rainy and cold weather has put running club way behind. We finally had our first marathon or earn his 26.2. Tripp Cook, third-grader was thrilled.

Nate had a transformation Tuesday as he got his braces off and A haircut in one day! He is all finished with round one of braces. He may have to get them again in a couple of years. We are thrilled with the results because the Eye teeth that were impacted came down on their own and did not require surgery like Henry's did. 

Another special Valentines dinner with my loves. 

Nate was so excited to build this FM radio. He hopes to have a station one day

Nate working hard at the vex robotics competition

Thank you Papa and DD for supporting him all day at Pendleton high school. Their team did make it to state however he had to choose whether to keep participating in robotics or do track. He is really enjoying and excelling in track so he is choosing that. He is learning the polevault.

We had a wonderful weekend in Columbia with Henry for the South Carolina elementary honors choir convention. This is the second year that Henry has been chosen to participate. To be invited you must submit a recording of your singing. A panel of judges choose the top 200 voices in the state from fourth fifth and sixth grade. Here is Henry with his favorite music and piano teacher Ms. Kelley Smith.
