Mother Of Many Children: Two Excited Girls, One disappointed Boy

Today the school and Toyota of Stuart gave away 101 Bicycles to students with good character picked by their teachers. A note was sent home last week from the teachers to the parents of the students who were picked to receive a bike. The note stated it was a surprise and if we wanted to attend the ceremony to be at the school at 1:00 pm in the office and we would be taken to a spot to hide out till just before the ceremony began.The first note to come home was for Andrea. It was neat to think she would get a new bike. A few days later a note came home for Jessica. I waited anxiously to see if a note would soon follow for Zach as he would be disappointed if he didn't receive a bike and his sisters did. Unfortunately that note never came. So today at 1:00 Rod and I headed for the school. As we were taken to the outside area where the bikes were to be given away, Jessica spotted us walking by where she was sitting. I don't think Zach or Andrea spotted us for quite some time. Andrea was one of the first few to receive her bike. She gets very embarrased so we weren't able to get a picture of her as she went forward to get hers. She started crying and just wanted out of the spotlight. Of course time went on and knowing Jess was getting one we waited. They went by grade and hers being close to the last grade in the school we knew it would be later. Little did we know she would actually be the last one to get hers. She was # 101. Zach was disappointed but he was told if his room is clean and was good for the rest of the day he may have a prize coming too.
