The girls are out of school today for a snow day, although we have no snow YET! They are happy to be home and I am happy to have them here! The girls have been playing school for the past two hours. They are having so much fun! They had breakfast with the "kids" in the cafeteria. Frisco is a student and Sarah Kate has been telling him that he is going to have to go to the office if he does not do what she says. He is not a very good student. I am glad for a lazy day, or two. Hope to catch up on laundry. I hope there are not too many fights between the girls. So far, so good! Happy day!
Maybe I am wrong, but I don't remember life being so complicated when I was in middle school. Everything is so competitive now. Maybe it was back then and I just didn't realize it. Sarah Kate started playing city league softball a couple of weeks ago. We've been encouraged to get her private batting lessons. When I was in third grade I started playing softball and I just did it for fun! No stress at all, as far as I can remember! I just played. I wasn't very good, but I liked it! Ha! Emily started band this year! Before school started, I got a letter from the school district strongly encouraging "your band student to take instrument lessons." WHAT? I bought into it and got Emily private clarinet lessons (which she really enjoys)! But, what happened to learning as you go? I never thought about taking private trumpet lessons when I started band. It seems like most parents are striving for their child to be THE BEST. I guess that's a go
