Growing Up is Hard to Do

September 20, 2010

Well, Grace lost the election for student body president.  It was a tough lesson for a fifth grader.  Lots of tears, but then she was fine about 30 minutes later.  Go figure.
This Saturday, she's trying out for the MC (six girls and six boys are chosen) for the school variety show.  This isn't just your average school talent show.  No.  It's Hopi, so it's waaay over the top.  It's a B-I-G big deal to be an MC, so we are keeping our fingers crossed (and toes and legs and whatever else crosses).   I think it might be a bit hard to lose twice in one month.
On a happier note, Grace successfully figured out how to create slime.  She found a bad recipe on the internet and then her teacher steered her in the right direction.  Corn starch, water & food coloring in case you were wondering.

Tommy had his first football game tonight, but his bad mom forgot her camera.  Next week I will post pictures.  He loves it and is having fun.
Tommy also started his confirmation class tonight.  He reported "it wasn't bad or boring like regular church." I'll take that as a positive endorsement.
