Quinn wearing Red Sox - Literally, all ready to go roller skating. I had suggested that the kids put on long pants to go roller skating in. Quinn took the advice to heart, and put on his baseball socks, totally covering up his knees. It's so fun that he's so fun!
He made a tough choice lately. There was a family church camp-out last Friday night and he wanted to go. He had already signed up to try-out for Region Orchestra. He had worked really hard in preparing for this. He struggled over that decision for quite some time...writing down the pros and cons, etc. As it ended up, he went on the camp-out and had a blast---but not before he had to tell his orchestra teacher (who I think is Region Chair!) that he wasn't going to try out. What a brave soul, that Quinn.
Tanner had one of his art pieces on display at an AISD arts building place thing recently. We went up to see it one afternoon after school.
After Connor talked about doing well in the Turkey Trot race at school, Tanner chimed in that he did well, too. But, he also mentioned how he asked his fast-running friend if he would let him win. The boy agreed! Tanner did end up winning the Turkey Trot race for first grade boys----but, because honesty and how we feel inside means more to us, we (I) talked to the P.E. teacher and we had to disqualify Tanner and his friend. So, while Tanner won't take home a stuffed animal turkey this year, he can have a good clean feeling and win the Turkey Trot fair and square as a 3rd grader. Honest Tan. He's a 1st place winner to me!
....I was all prepared with my stack of stuff to take to church a couple of Sundays ago. I had my conducting sheet that I had already worked on getting it all filled out, and it was the Sunday the Young Women meet with the Relief Society sisters. And there they sat on the kitchen counter all during Church, in a nice, neat stack!
Allison said, "Mrs. Talley pretty much does know how to do everything, right Mommy?"
To Quinn, "Did you know Mrs. Talley can touch the ceiling?"
The other day she was looking for the anti-bacterial something or other, and asked instead about the anti-depressants!
