Lab Coats and Gold Medals

So today in chapel, we announced Science Fair winners. But we couldn't just blandly stand up there and call off names. Oh no. We (two teachers and I) dressed up in lab coats and Einstein wigs to do the honors. Ha! (I'm the dork in the middle.) As soon as we walked into chapel, the kids just started howling. The computer teacher (the guy on the right) announced the winners in this voice he said was supposed to be like a crazy German Scientist, but mostly sounded like Grover from Sesame Street. :) The kids loved it!

And yes, Cole was right. He took home the gold. I had a 'you can't win 'em all' speech all prepared, but I guess I'll have to save it for another day. Although I am thinking I need to come up with a 'virtues of humility' speech. Because he's strutting around with his gold medal thinking he's pretty cool. Lexi also took home a gold medal!! And Gage got a silver. So all in all, a very successful Science Fair.

Later after chapel, I was working at my desk (sans the costume) and I heard a little girl walk by and tell her friend, "That nice lady at the desk went a little crazy today."

Ha! Yes, I did. And it felt pretty darn good.
