Proud Parent Brag Time II

Lil' Griff got her day in the sun today! Her team took 1st place at The Odyssey of the Mind today! Their performance was wonderful. All the kids remembered their lines, the judges laughed when they were supposed to, and their solution for the problem was really clever. My kid was particularly good but don't tell anyone.

Just for clarification, Li'l Pete is one daughter and Li'l Griff is the other, right? Or are they the same kid? Anyway, congratulations to her!!

Two kids the cheat notes are lil Pete is the athlete/artist and lil' Griff is the brainiac, literally queen of the geeks (there are rituals and everything).

So if lil' Griff is the brainiac then why did you name her after yourself?

Lil' Griff is going to freakin "Worlds". Best memory of the day, the whole team was sitting in this crooked pine tree singing show tunes. Yah, they were pretty loose. Pulled down a first place in the state.

Good work, mate. Kids are only as good as their parents let them become.

my daughter is 23 years old. she became pregnant in January this year. the fact that she doesnt already have 3 or 4 kids at the age of 23, in the area where we live and in which she grew up, makes me so proud.

Yep. We just need to know when to get out of their way.

Check out lovely Daughter No. 2's website. She makes and sells goth and fantasy jewelry, and can do a hand-penciled drawing from any photograph. Hope you guys don't think this is spam! (but if you would like to buy from her, please!)

I pointed this link toward the "anti-Bush" jewelry, since I thought some of you may enjoy it:
