YEAH! Inventor of the Year!


Well, I don't have the award pics downloaded yet, but for those of you who check my VERY unkept blog, I have exciting news!
Lauren entered the Invent America Invention Convention and did great! She was also awarded Inventor of the Year. What an honor! Her invention is called the Fire Alert, and it is an outdoor smoke detector that automatically calls the owner's home and cell phone, and fire department if smoke is in the area.
Okay, I know I've done my fair share of griping about the amount of time we ALL spent helping with this major endeavor, but, again, it was all worth it to see the smile of achievement across her sweet face! I'm so proud!
