Updated Spelling Bee...

Evan came in 9th out of 30 kids...ranging from 4th through the 8th grade. Not too shabby.

Synonym got him. The irony of that word is that Aodhan had been helping him "study" by randomly picking out words in the dictionary. Just that morning, he had him practice synonym...he got it wrong with Aodhan, too. lol.

I wasn't able to go watch him because I was sick with a stomach thing (it's going around and has hit just about everyone in the house. Aodhan is spared as of right now). Shaune and I were texting back and forth as he had his turn so I was getting play by play updates. When he spelled synonym wrong, he got to sit with Shaune and I texted him to tell him what a great job he did and making it that far was totally awesome, yada, yada....he is a kid with a lot to say and simply texted back "thanks." He is a turkey!
