Storms, Students and More Prizes

This morning a storm came through while we were waiting at the bus stop.  At first it was just torrential rain which is not pleasant but bearable, then a lightening bolt struck so close that it seemed like a camera flash going off in your face and the crash of thunder that followed was bone shaking, so Jacob and I and everyone else piled into Nicole's Ford Explorer.  It took me back a good few years to being a student or a field archaeologist as somehow we managed to squish 9 people in snow boots, 6 backpacks and the bone file in there on top of 2 kid's car seats, all sopping wet.  Ugh, it was a good job Rose was at home with a cough or I think I'd have been left standing outside trying not to look scared.

At school today Jacob was presented with this certificate for a poster he drew last November.  He got first place in the primary children's colour poster category for the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 498.  He is very pleased and smug, especially as the certificate came with an envelope with $20 in it!
