Thursday

This week has been very full of errands.  Car stuff mostly.  It's been kind of time consuming but it has to be done.  

Grace joined the robotics team at school.  She opted for vex robotics instead of lego robotics.  She'll stay after school twice a week thru about January to work on things and prepare for the different competitions. Next week she also starts back with swim team.  Middle school is really going well for her so far.  She is enjoying it a lot and has really grown in maturity and pleasantness.  

Madi and Sarah came over after school to work on their shirts for senior sunrise.  They stayed for dinner and it was fun to have them here.  They are all three in the school play and have lots of fun with that and other things.

We've been teasing Ethan because he has a B+ (an Asian F) in Algebra 2/Trig.  He has a test tomorrow and is happy mostly so he can bring it back in the A range and get us off his back.  He's so smart and has gotten such good grades his whole life (like this is the first B we have EVER seen) that we are both surprised and enjoying giving him a  little ribbing.  He is taking it very well, he is quite easy going and doesn't get ruffled. Plus it's week 3 and hardly a tragedy.  He's been enjoying soccer but his hamstrings are bothering him. Hopefully this will be a quickly passing problem.
