Do you ever have one of those weeks where you feel like you just put your head down and push through? That's how this week felt for me. The kids and I are all off next week and so this week I felt like we were all holding our breath, just counting down the days.
The week started strangely with snow on Monday. It didn't stick, even for a moment, but it definitely fell as snow for a short time. It may be a sign of a white winter ahead. Counter that with ending the week at a swimming birthday (albeit at an indoor pool) and you have the making of a strange week.
The kids had a good week at school though. CC got to combine crafting into science and the result was this adorable brain hat.
Elsie had a school wide assembly and won an award for leadership.
Merrick had basketball tryouts. He was really hoping to make the JV team over the Freshman team. Unfortunately, he was never allowed to play with the Sophomores and Juniors during tryouts to show what he could do, no Freshman were. So, in the end, they put him on the Freshman team, but the coach told him he was a "moving piece" and may get moved up to the JV team sooner rather than later. He told him that he was the guy all the varsity guys are talking about and he's excited to win a lot of games with him over the next four years. While the Freshman team certainly wasn't what he was hoping for, there was a lot to be celebrated in the feedback.
All in all, it was a good week. Now bring on the break!
