AWARDS

It is  Awards day in my family.

I won my second PUKIE AWARD!


This one is for my most recent race you can read about it here!
Don't know what a Pukie Award is? Oh no...means you are not a follower of Big Daddy Diesel.
Go visit his blog you will not regret it I promise.
Thank you BDD for this honor...my stomach appreciate the recognition it is getting!
Seriously I hope I stop winning these things real soon because it is not fun for me to have this happening at the end of almost every race!

Today was REST day for me.  Tomorrow is supposed to be REST day also because I have a race on Sunday but I decided I will go for a short 3 miles after Will's soccer game.  Yep we are already starting a new sport season, right after basketball ended, now it is soccer time.  I do not coach soccer, I get to be the crazy mom who cheers way too much and takes 243 pics per game.

Now to the real AWARD winner in my family: My son Will.
Yes I will brag about this boy, I gave birth to him and I get to brag about the good stuff!
This morning I went to the 2nd trimester award ceremony.

Will received 3 awards:
1. Achievement in Maths and Reading.
2. Math Champ - only first grader to get that one.
3. Accelerated Reader awards : HONOR READER: He was the only kid to get this one for 1st and 2nd grade.

Can you tell this mommy is really PROUD?   Before I had Will and Jonathan,  I was working as an engineer.  I always thought I would continue to work outside the house after having kids.  Well the plan changed and I became a stay at home parent.  It was not easy for me in the beginning.  This is a HARD job people.  On days like today I know I made a good decision 6 years ago.

 Those are the Math Champs! 14 kids only out of 4 2nd grade classes.

 The GOLDEN Button!


Somebody deserves a little treat for all this!
