Grades

Last week the boys grade cards came home!  The end of the 1st Quarter had come and it was time to see how the boys were doing.  I really wasn't worried, but they were super excited.  Daddy had promised the boy with the highest GPA would receive a Cleveland Browns tin.  There was only 1, so that was Daddy's way of distributing it evenly.  Unfortunately Daddy was not home when the grade cards came home.

 

As I opened envelopes, there was nervous excitement.  Out of a possible 34 grades (12 each for Ronnie and Nathaniel and 10 for Eli), there were 33 A's!  My kids are genuis'!  That would have been plenty of reason to celebrate, but...

 

Problem: Only 1 tin.

So, it really did come down to GPA and Nathaniel had higher A's than his brothers, so he received the coveted tin.

 

As you can see below, there were mixed emotions in the house, even some tears!

 

Next time grades come home - Daddy's opening the envelopes, even if we have to wait a week for him to get home! :)
