Run4Fun Limo Ride!

Stanley was one of the top 2 earners in fundraising for the Run4Fun at his school, so he won a limo ride with the principal to go to Dairy Queen! He could bring a friend, so he brought Lisa. They had a great time in their first limo!

Science Olympiad

Stanley participated in his school's Science Olympiad team. He competed in the district-wide tournament recently. In a team of three students, he completed a variety of science-based events: estimating amounts of objects in jars, creating a self-propelled car, making bridges from tape and string, and answering questions about the muscles/skeleton of the human body and celestial charting. I was so proud of him for practicing and studying each week and completing the 3-hour tournament!

Ready for the competition!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We enjoyed a relaxing Thanksgiving day at home. Stanley's goal was to stay in his pjs all day (and he accomplished it). We had a delicious dinner. Matt smoked a turkey breast on the grill, and we had lots of yummy sides like stuffing, rolls, mashed potatoes, roasted Brussels sprouts, and cranberry relish. Don't forget the apple pie and chocolate pudding pie too!
