All the Buzz

Phoebe has had quite a week. After getting her braces off on Monday, she got a really cute haircut on Tuesday.

Then on Wednesday she found out she was being bumped from alternate in the school spelling bee to competitor in the school spelling bee. She spent Wednesday evening studying the word packet. Cooper helped by quizzing her.

Thursday morning I finished dropping the other kids off at school and quickly drove to Phoebe's school to watch her compete. I missed the practice round and the explanation of the rules, but made it in time for Phoebe's first round. I watched as the number of kids dwindled from fourteen to two over several rounds. Phoebe and her friend Leo were the last spellers left. Much to her own surprise, Phoebe won the bee!

I was so happy I decided to come and support her! She did a great job and will now move on to the regional spelling bee.

Well done, Phoebe!
