Well...this has been a highly anticipated day her in the Marquez Household... The Spelling Bee!! Samone tied for 1st place in her class for Spelling Bee qualifications!! Then the studying began!! Those were some tough words. Then the day of the Spelling Day arrives!! Samone is soooo excited!! She even dressed nice for school, which she never does!!! She wanted to win so bad!! I told her that a lot of it is luck..... the luck of the word you get!! So, David and I both were able to make it to the Spelling Bee!! Were we both excited and nervous for Samone!! First they did a practice round.... Samone got her practice word correct!! Then they started the first round!! Holy Moly...kids were dropping like flies!! Samone was up. Her word was CAVITY.. and she got it right!! I would say about 3/4 of the kids were out after the first round. Then the second and third rounds, Samone was still in!!! We were so excited for her!! There were only about 5 kids left!! Then, after the fourth round it was only Samone and one other girl, Kylie!!! So, to be the winner, they had to get two words right in a row!! So, they went back and forth for about 10-15 minutes. The words were so hard that neither of them could get two words right in a row!! They finally started giving them easier words and, unfortunately, Kyleigh was able to get two right first!! But Samone was still the second place winner!! I know she wanted 1st place!! But she was pretty happy with second!! And David and I could not have been more proud of her!!!!
So proud of my family!!!!!
