Today was the annual Knights of Columbus Math, Spelling and Free Throw Competition. A student could pick and choose what they want to compete in or do all 3. Just like last year, Carter the over-achiever did all 3.
Carter ended up finishing first in Math, which means he moved on to the district competition in March, and finished second in Spelling behind his friend Mason from school.
In the free-throw competition, Carter took first for 12-year-old boys and his friend and classmate Brady took first for 13-year-old boys. So they both get to move on to a regional competition in March (different weekend than the academic one).After such a successful morning, we had to celebrate with a blizzard at Dairy Queen, which opened yesterday after a way too long winter hiatus! Thank you, Carter!
Before coming home, we decided to swing by the South Wood County Humane Society Souper Snow Sculpture Spectacular. We're so glad we did! Lots of neat stuff going on as a fund-raiser for the shelter. Check these out...
The humane society dog sculpture -- which doubled as a slide.
Carter's always a fan of the Rubik's Cube!
I had to take a picture of a snow dolphin -- especially since I knew my sister Rayna in Texas was taking my parents on a dolphin tour cruise around South Padre Island today. I bet the dolphins they saw were warmer!
Loved the detail in this eagle!
The Princess & the Frog takes shape.
I loved the added touch the yellow snow gave to this hydrant!
Of course there's cheese! This is Wisconsin!
We thought this was the most creative concept. A man reading his newspaper in an outhouse. Funny!
Any fans of the Madagascar kids' movie will recognize these penguins!
Meet Roscoe the river rat -- mascot for the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters professional baseball team!We might just have to swing by tomorrow to view these in their completed stage. Looking at the forecast, there's no chance these will melt overnight.
What a creative use of gray matter and white matter!
