Exec Council campaign week...

When we got back from Spring Break Wednesday evening, we found out that the next morning Thursday (which was still considered spring break) He would need to meet at the school to find out what team he would be on for the upcoming exec week.  They split the kids into 2 teams...a red team and black team, they think it helps that kids work together and cheer each other on and helps the kids with campaigning.   Preston found out he was on the Red team with some great kids.  He was on the team with Millie, Ryan, Cooper, Sara, Lindy, Porter, and then Preston.  They got right to work with their team Posters, Shirts, Dance, and Video.  In the meantime we had to do all of Preston's Personal posters and shirts too, as well as come up with his skit.  The Team ended up at our house while they made shirts, and we helped them and fed them dinner.  Then that weekend with the help of my mom and sisters we were able to bust out Preston's posteres, his part in the team movie, and his skit.  We stayed with the dumb and dumber theme from his initial campaign video.  We rented out the Orange tux for the week, and took a bunch of pictures with him in it for his posters, video and skit things.  We finally made it to Monday and  we were able to hang up his posters.  Tuesday School started back up from spring break and campaigning began for both teams.  The red team was in charge of the lunch activity that day they came up with 9 square, corn hole, and outside games, but it was raining so we moved it inside.  Wednesday we had to decorate and cater the lunch for the old exect and leaders.  I  went down to grab catered Chick fil la for everyone.  We had the lunch at Millie's house and everything turned out perfect.  Thursday was interview day.  Preston dressed up in his suit and said he did great with his interview.  Also, Every night that week they were up practicing their dance  skits and filming their team movie for the big assembly Friday.  We got all of Preston's filming done for his part of the movie, and it turned out great.  We borrowed cousin Tynlee's scooter for the filming and his skit on stage.  He did great and red team nailed their movie and dance.  Preston did great with his skit and we were so excited and proud of all his hard work.  After the assembly the voting was open for a couple hours.  That night they had a dance they would go to and there they would announce who made the new exect council for the next year.  We were all exhausted from all the work from the last week, but it was so much fun to watch Preston.  We were all a nervous wreck to wait tell 11:45 that night to see if Preston made it or not. Dean and I  stayed up to hear the news.  Around 11:55 we got a text saying he had made it!!! He was so excited and couldn't believe it.  Honestly everyone that made it this far were amazing and we knew it could go either way.  Anyway, Preston is so excited for next year and we are so excited for him as well.
