May I have a moment to brag...

If you don't want to hear me be a proud mama for a moment you may not want to read this post. I am giving fair warning...so if you don't like my bragging.....well it is your own fault!
At the end of each school year the kids take the Iowa test. This is given nation wide. Addy brought home this certificate from her 3rd grade test on Monday. It says that she scored in the top 10 percent in the whole nation in six different categories! I am so proud of her. I told her I was so proud of her and tried to help her understand what a neat achievement this was. Corey and I took her to dinner on Wednesday to Los hermonos (her choice). She thought it was pretty fun to go on our date with us and loved having one on one time. Even though I did want her to know it was a big deal, I am also grateful that she doesn't think to much of it at the same time. I love that she just thinks cool, not wow I am so cool, you know what I mean right?? I am so proud of her and the great student she is!

WOW! That is a big deal! You have the right to brag all you want. I would if I had a genious kid. Your girls look just adorable as they head off to school. I'm sure you feel like it was just yesterday that you had your first born in your arms. I don't think that far into the future for fear of crying. HA HA
