Weekly Report #25

We had a really nice week. DS went to Washington once again with DH on a work trip. He is always really motivated on the weeks when he knows he will be leaving as he knows he has things to get done if he wants to be able to go. DD was looking forward to GIRLS DAY so she worked hard as well. It was so nice to have a whole week of great attitudes! We had fun and learned a lot!

Dog Club- After a long wait DD finally had her first meeting. She organized the whole club months ago, but has had to wait until we had the time to have everyone over. She did so well! She used her schedule and kept things running smoothly. She asked DS to make a snack and he was very excited to do it- making brownies all by himself. She planned cute activities and crafts. The kids all had such a good time! It will be a monthly activity.
