Dad's Birthday

Scholarship Award Night at Northfield High School happens to be tonight, what would have been Dad's 68th birthday.  Amazingly, tonight's recipient will already be the 8th individual we'll give the award out to.  There will be many more down the road too as Dad was such an awesome person who deserves to be remembered by those of us lucky enough to have known him and by those who never got the chance.

Love you and miss you Dad.

Opening This Week...

I can hardly wait until my tulips open up this week and show off their extraordinary beauty.

Math Masters Competition

Careline and four of her classmates competed against 16 other teams this morning in the annual Math Masters Competition.  That's 85 5th graders packed in a gymnasium working out math problems (I'm not too bad at math myself, eh).  Her team didn't place in the top 4 but should be proud to have been chosen to represent their school.  Plus, using your brain on a Saturday morning is never a bad thing!

Let's Go Wild!

All eyes in the McLaughlin household were peeled on the television last night as The Wild took on St Louis in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.  It was all Wild as they shut out The Blues 3 nothing.  Let's do it again tomorrow!

Happy Birthday Grandma Ginger

Math Master

Congrats to Careline who was chosen as 1 of the 10 students to represent the 5th grade class of KEC in the upcoming Math Masters Competition.  For the past couple of months she has stayed after school one day per week working on math drills and problems and in just a couple weeks she and her fellow smarty pants peers will take on students from other surrounding schools.  Go Careline and company!
