Photography Awards

This kids recently had an art contest at their school. The contest this year was photography. The theme was "A Day in the Life..." My kids had a lot of fun with this one. They just took the camera and started taking a lot of pictures. We finally had to sit down and explain that their photo needed to fit in with the theme. They all ended up being finalists. Isaiah got 2nd place in the 4th grade. Grace got 1st place in the 2nd grade and 3rd place overall in the whole school. Miles got 1st place in Kindergarten and won 2nd place overall. They did such a fabulous job! Grace and Miles were excited to learn that they got prize money for being finishers in the whole school. Grace got $10 and Miles got $15. Miles, of course, felt like Isaiah should have won a prize too and so he gave him $5 of his winnings. Here are the kids with their ribbons, certificates, and photos. This is Isaiah's new camera face. I can't tell if he is upset (which he was), or if he is trying to look cool?

Here is Isaiah's winning photo. It was titled "I Drooled on my Homework." Grace enjoyed being the model for this photo.

Grace's photo was entitled "Wake Up Baby." Her idea was that she gets her sister out of her bed every morning when she wakes up.

Here is Miles' photo. He called it "Stuck Basketball." He was really excited to do so well in the contest. He is obsessed with basketball to Nate's pure joy!
