Tonight was the school spelling bee. This was our first experience. Camry is an amazing speller and she did great! She seemed to keep getting all of the really difficult words (of course this may be my distorted view as a mother). But seriously she misspelled "patina" She spelled it "petina"....which is exactly how I think it should be spelled! The kid after her got the word "noodle"! What an injustice! But really...she ended up taking 5th place which I think is great! I was very proud of her that she wasn't one of the many little girls who sat down after being eliminated and cried.....honestly I don't think I would have been able to handle it...it was breaking my heart watching them cry and they weren't even mine!
Camry accepting her certificate.Speaking of spelling....why in the world is spell check still not working!? Seriously...it's driving me insane! Please excuse all of my spelling errors!

I think the teachers got the spelling wrong....they do that sometimes. Anyone remember Dan Quayle and"potatoe"? Yeah... I'm the only one old enough, so rub it in....
Good job Camry!
Even if she didn't win, I'm sure she was the best-dressed little girl in the BEE:) And, I'm soooo sick of spellcheck not working too!! (I remember the Dan Quayle fiasco too):)
Noodle...seriously. That is lame!
Are you aloud to have a cheering section at Spelling bees? I almost feel like I get stares at sports, they'd probaly escort me out of the Spelling bee.
I think she did a great job. One of the cutest shows is "Akeelah and the Bee". You'll have to rent it for her.
Greta job, Cams!! What is a "patina" anyway?? Never heard of it!
Oh tragic, I still remember my fifth grade spelling bee. It was down to me and Matthew "smarty pants." I don't remember his last name, only that I was glad when he moved. : )
Way to go Camry!
Thank goodness I never had the stress of spelling bees. Unlike my "smarty pants" sister I couldn't spell.
Good job Camry!! And yes she was definitely best dressed.
