Son of Dish Rag Tag Grande Finale

On Monday.

20k2win

Team K2Win returns to Alabama!

This team has had such a hard time. But they persevered through not one but TWO missing boxes! (Did the first one ever show back up?) Craziness. So if there was ever a team to deserve a big finish, it’s team K2WIN!

(Ellie is making fireworks noises behind me.)

ooooooo

aaaaaahhhhhh

oohhhhhhh

The box is a little singed and smells like gunpowder, but it’s contents are unharmed! Ellie was around to open this one, it made me very happy since some of the things in side were for her! Zonda, you are so sweet and thoughtful!

Ellie has spent a lot of time watching me arrange box contents the past couple months, she gave this one a try herself. Seriously, no prompting from me. She just got everything and stacked it in her little chair.

So I took a picture.

And then I did a little rearranging so I could take another picture.

Thank you, Zonda!

Really such fun stuff, the wash cloth earned a fish face (we have to dissolve it in the tub tonight), the card got a “BAA”, the stitch markers are sophisticated and the hand cream and lip balm are in the nick of time! Long Leaf Pine NC post card is not pictured (Ellie had it in the marsupial pocket on her sweatshirt), but we’ve got Long Leafs galore outside! Your captain, Shawn, will love her dish cloth. It’s the symbol of a challenging Race Complete. What could be a nicer trophy?

There will be one more Dish Rag Tag post to announce the MVP and Fastest Turn Around Winners. If you’ve got any last minute MVP nominations, please email them to me before Monday (November 9, 2009) at noon. I’ll also have a short survey (to help me make this even better for next year) and another little drawing related to survey participation!

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to find the darkest room and help Ellie make princess shadows on the wall.

    Ohhhh Princess Shadows! Kids today, they have it all> I KNOWYou’ll teach her hand shadows in a few years. Just in case she ever needs to make a duck, or Nixon, or a bunny or a dog. That is my repitoire

    No Emily, neither box ever showed up. We made due with our lot, and staggered over the finish line.

    I love the fireworks! Very cool.

    Thank you for hosting this great race. I can’t wait for next year. Third times the charm!

    Thanks for the fireworks and thanks Emily for running this event year after year. It is so much fun. Looking forward to next year!
