Braggin' on my babies

Sometimes your kids do or say things that just make you want to tell the world what great kids they really are. This week, after all the trauma of the failed drivers license, M made us real proud of him.

He placed 6th out of his class of 32 (and 41st in his grade of 208 kids) in the mock matric exams. And if that wasn't great enough, on Thursday night at the school cultural awards dinner, he was awarded full colors for service to Backstage--he's been part of the backstage support crew for the last three years of high school.

Go, M!!!

Then my daughter. She and a friend were talking about 'big words' tonight and she says - "I know TWO big words!" (Big laugh from the friend). "Yep" she says. "Protagonist and antagonist." "Huh?" says the friend. "Protagonist" says my girl,"is the character in a story who goes through the most change during the story, and antagonist is the person or thing who causes the most change!"

Oh, she rocks!!! :-) We talked about this a while back and she remembered!!

*Insert proud smiling face picture here!*
