Perfect Attendance

The morning after I had Brecken was a Friday.  Down here it's a short day.  The kids go to school tell 1:15, and Kindergarten (addy) goes tell 10:30.  So we decided to just not send Addison, and she could help Dean come get me and the baby, we didn't want to have to send her for only an hour then turn around and come get her.  So She went in and gave her teacher her last Teacher Appreciation gift and hurry and made my mothers day gift and they were on there way.

Well I get a call on my phone while in the hospital from the school saying we have a absent student and we needed to call and excuse her.  So I called and excused her, well not even 2 minutes later, I have Dean answer my phone, and it's the principle, he starts talking to Dean and I wonder what's going on...well He wanted to know why Addison wasn't at school, and get some info about it...come to find out it was the perfect attendance assembly that day for any kid who didn't miss a day of school the whole year.  Well Addison hadn't until that day so her name was in all sorts of drawing to win things.  All the students got to choose things off a table.   Shaylee choose Addison a small basketball, and a soccer ball.  Come to find out they have had bikes displayed all year as an incentive for the kids.  Well they had a boy bike and a girls bike for grades K-2, and another for 3-5.  Addison's name was drawn for the bike.  Everyone was laughing because she wasn't there...go figure...but her teacher explained the situation, and the principle called just to check , but they choose to still give it to her!!!  She was so excited as well as us.  Also, the principle asked us if we had a vehicle to fit the bike...because it had a flat from sitting all year, he said yes, then he asked Dean if he had a vehicle to handle 2 bikes.  Preston's name had been drawn for the bigger bike in the 3-5 grade level...What????  They were both so excited.  He also choose a water bottle , and a new basketball as well.  What are the odds.  They sure do love there new bikes.  Shaylee hadn't missed a day all year, until the week before when she stayed home on a friday because of Throw ups.  She was a little sad but so excited for her brother and sister.  She is taking over Preston's old bike, and they are painting it, and putting on girl stickers so she is very excited as well.
