Today was the MathCounts competition for the South Bay/Santa Monica chapter. This is the largest chapter in the US, with 41 middle school teams competing. Miraleste came in 5th, which earned Garrett's team the right to compete at the state competition on March 21. The other middle schools on the hill came in 1st and 2nd, so PV rocks!!!
Friday night's Cotillion included the Mother/Son (or Father/daughter) dance and the Waltz competition. I was lucky enought to attend the 6th grade dance and the 7th grade dance, so I could dance w/ Blake and Garrett. I got a pic of Blake and me on my cell phone, but I don't know how to transfer it onto my computer... We took this pic after we got home so he could show off his new hardware: the trophy from the Waltz contest!!! He and Lauren (a friend from our neighborhood whom he selected to dance with) were "crowned" prince and princess of the Waltz! (2nd place) The King of the Waltz was another soccer player from Garrett's MIS soccer team. It was quite a thrill. But my favorite was dancing with my boys - they are both very good at leading : )
Blake and his teamates line up to go out on the field...
Blake's soccer team, PV United, was invited to play at half-time of the Pan-Pacific playoff soccer game last night. They got to play on the game field of the LA Galaxy. Blake played keeper, so he wore a different color than the rest of his team. At the end of the game, the score was 0-0. Not a huge crowd there to watch China vs Korea (well, teams from those countries), but all the parents and some fans were there : )
