Week is almost over... whew

This week seems like it will never end! Monkey had his presentation for the Challenge at school. He did a fabulous job, but sad to say they gave the award to a yr 9 girl who made a board game. Which when i stop being his mom, i can see how that did take a lot of work. My complaint about it is that all the kids did such totally different things, that I don't see how they could choose. They narrowed them down to 6, his movie, 2 stories, a ecology study, and a board game. Could they be any more different? But, he was a trooper, there were no tears, from him anyway :) All of the teachers and judges said he did a great, great job. Truth be told, i saw one of the heads who he interviewed, and she was floored he lost too. He was apparently one of the youngest in it, and that was shocking to the judges. so it was sad, it really stinks to see your baby lose, but i guess everyone is someone's baby. The girls dad was so gracious though, and stopped monkey on the way out to tell him what a great job he did. That was nice. So i guess the praise he is getting, is making his hard work worthwhile. Now if i could figure out how to get it on here.....
