This weekend is speeding by, as usual. I spent part of the morning on Friday making sure my oldest had finished homework for his afternoon robotics club. My husband then took the oldest two boys to the driving range for a couple of hours while I concentrated on academics with the youngest two children. How easy it felt to only have two children to teach! Afterwards, we regrouped for the evening: soccer, FLL, and a field trip for my Junior FLL. My night ended with taking my girlfriend out to eat for her birthday before hubby and I watched a late-night movie (thereby, “napping during the movie”. I believe I only saw about half of the movie, some magic theme with the face-book actor and the Cheers guy).
Today following morning soccer for the youngest, I took my oldest son to U of Penn’s campus, so that he and his teammates could participate in a robotics event. I LOVED walking around Penn’s campus with him. I’m a big fan of exposing them to the higher education environment at an early age. It helps them to see what they may be working towards. We talked about how hard students have to work to be accepted into an Ivy League school. Lots and lots of studying is required. That seemed to register to my son (maybe?). The evening ended with my daughter and I having a “girls night out” shopping for her wardrobe. It’s always enjoyable spending time with just one of the kids at a time.
Off to bed before Ground Hog day comes.
