And the winner is...

We've had a busy couple of weeks here, including two very nice awards ceremonies: one for the Little League team, and one for the March of Dimes.

Because our sponsor was essentially worthless, Charles and I had to throw (and finance) the end-of-season awards party. It was a little stressful getting ready for it - issues with the trophy place, uncooperative balloons, and the snotty woman in Wal-mart who felt the need to comment on my cart full of cheapy fruit punch for the kids: "You know, they have 100% juice right there. " My first instinct was to dump some of my demon sugar water on her head and then hit her with my cart, but I refrained. It was all worth it, though, to see how happy all the kids were to get their awards. (Although I do hope we get a better sponsor next year!)

We also had the awards banquet for our March of Dimes March for Babies event. We ended up getting quite a few awards, for Matt as an ambassador and for our team fundraising success. Thanks again to everyone who donated. Matt got to go up by himself to receive a couple of the plaques, which he thought was pretty big stuff.
