Coloring Contest

My mom brought over some coloring contest pages for my kids to color. They did their best work even though I told them I probably wouldn't be able to turn them in before the due date. They took them over to Grandma's house, because she makes it down town more often than I do. She turned them in and we didn't think much more about it. Then Saturday, October 30th rolled around, and the kids were super excited as they were getting ready to go trick or treating. Ryan got a phone call, "Hello? Yeah. Oh really? Okay. Thanks, bye." That perked my curiosity. It turned out to be Fresh Market calling to let us know that Marlee won the coloring contest. "Marlee?" was Tay and Ky's response. They couldn't believe that Marlee won and they didn't. I was so glad that it was Marlee, because she always feels like her coloring is bad in comparison to Tay and Ky's. It forced them to be a bit more humble as well. Ryan picked it up yesterday. It was a glow-in-the-dark trick or treating basket filled with treats, a glow stick, and a Halloween Beanie Baby(an orange bear without feet, but rather a ghost tail). It brought a smile to my face when her face lit up as she sifted through the various prizes. To think that I wasn't even going to turn them in. Lesson learned!
