The Cupcake

Our grandson turned 11 years old. The day before his birthday, a Friday, was stormy and a snow day from school. This was to be the day for him to bring treats for his class and celebrate his birthday. Since his mother was very sick for the next 4 days, I surprised our Grandson on Tuesday when school was once again in session. I baked cupcakes for the whole class but in the center was a large cupcake about twice the size of a regular cupcake. This one had 11 on it was special for him. You can tell from the picture he couldn't waite to chow down.

Geography! WHO KNOWS THEIR GEOGRAPHY???
Our grandson dose! First He won the oral Geography Bee at his school. Then he had to take a hard written test. The hard part about this test was being patient to find out how he did. Well after a long month of waiting, He received a letter yesterday telling him that he had done well enough to go to the State Geography Bee. This is very exciting news for him, his parents and us, his Grandparents. This competition is for 4Th through 8Th grades. He is only in 5Th grade. This also shows that the Lutheran Missouri Synod School that he attends is really doing a good job teaching the children. We are very proud of Him and would love to see him win the state competition and go on to Washington DC for the National competition.
