Spelling Bee

Lauren got through three rounds of the spelling bee! She did an awesome job, we were all really proud of her! My mom, Paula and Abigail went along to watch, and thankfully Abigail was on her BEST baby behavior:) Both Smith girls were pretty impressive Friday morning:)
Lauren got a medal for participating, and was really excited that it wasn't a plastic one! She wore it all day at school, and has been showing it off like crazy!
The morning of the bee was a bit rough for me. I got pretty much NO sleep that night before. Lauren got to bed pretty easy so she could be rested for the bee. I fell asleep around 10:30 or so, and was woken up around one o'clock to what I thought was someone breaking in through a window...panic of great amounts followed!! After making calls to whoever I could find would answer, I walked around my place to find all the doors and windows still locked. Relief...for a minute. I walked back into my room and heard more glass shattering. I opened my bathroom door, and saw that my shower door had fallen apart. WHAT A MESS!! Then, I got really nervous thinking someone was IN the house and had hit it. (yes, I'm paranoid...sometimes I question if I should live alone) SO, I looked under the beds and in the closets. All clear, more relief:) The door got replaced by maintenance late Friday morning. By a door that looked like they had ripped it off a filthy abandoned apartment...so I got a bottle of bleach and went into clean it. Stepped on probably the only piece of glass that didn't get picked up by the shopvac. What a mess!! I am still not letting Lauren walk around barefoot. We have mopped/swept/repeated SEVERAL times. What fun!!
Paula got a pic of Lauren with her bee medal, so I'll be sure to load it soon.
In some good news, everything has been sent for my KS real estate license, so being legal in both KS and MO is a great thing!! Hopefully I can find a few good people to work with!! (shameless, yes I know, but if y'all have any referrals for me, HOW AWESOME WOULD THAT BE!!!)
Have a great weekend:) Super bowl party safe!!
