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

Poor SK, hope getting rid of "cissy" gets better... I know we'll have to deal with the same thing in a few months when we decide to take our daughther's away!
Looking forward to meeting you this weekend, Laurie!
Happy Wednesday.
Peace.
We are from Australia, we homeschool, and enjoy thrift shopping and garage-saling in order to build a heritage library for our children. Among our collection so far, are many from the same era with similar pictures. Our daughters love going garage saling with Daddy now and searching out their own vintage finds.
God Bless
