Proud Moments!

I just got home from Toby's Open House tonight and it was a pretty special night full of "Proud Moments"! The first one of the night was the one he has been waiting for all summer long. You see about two weeks into the summer vacation we got Toby's FCAT (Our state standardized test) scores and not only did he pass but he gained over 100 points in each subject! This meant he had won a brand new laptop!!! Which he was able to pick up tonight. Out of about 300 students only 20 earned the laptops this year! I am so very proud of him!!!

And here he is enjoying his reward tonight. Sorry the photo is so bright, I had to use the flash in his room.

The next "Proud Moment" was while we were visiting his classes, his Culinary Teachers told me they had selected Toby for competition this year!!! This is a really BIG honor for students in their third year of Culinary and if he wins he travels to the next competition! This is almost as big as the Food Network Challenges! Now he needs to decide if he was to compete in cooking or baking. I think he may be leaning more towards baking.

I have been doing some crafty things ~ some I can't share just yet but you are going to *love* them soon! I do have some others I'll be posting this week but it just seems like I am always going, going, going these days. I hope to slow down now that all the kids Open Houses are done.

Thanks for sharing my excitement tonight!
