Hayden is looking extra cute for school this morning because she got to be out of uniform for donating money to St. Jude's or turning in Box Tops or joining PTA or something. I don't remember why but she was pretty excited. She was most excited about finally being able to wear this jacket to school and keep it on when she got in the building. Its the little things.
Same day --different kind of excitement. Bryan chaperoned a field trip with Taylor's robotics class to the Technology Student Association competition at Faulkner State. Her entire class made CO2 racers for the competition but hers was too narrow by a couple of mm so she competed in some kind of engineering challenge instead.
Taylor and a partner used the given supplies to construct an arm that could pick up a ping pong ball and put it in a bowl (or something like that.) I wasn't there so I don't know all of the details. I do know that using some straws, tape, rubber bands, string, and tubes, she was able to build a pretty complex contraption.
Same day -- even more excitement. We spent the evening celebrating Mimi and Opa's anniversary at Olive Garden. The kids loved going out to dinner with the old folks. This is a pretty rare occurence, so it was pretty exciting. Even more exciting than that was....
...the candy free-for-all at Fresh Market afterwards. It is days like today that make me so glad that Mimi and Opa moved back to Mobile. I love having them so close!
