A Typical Friday


Today is Friday. Ok, it's actually Saturday and I'm trying to write and post what we did yesterday.

Friday means Friday Enrichment (FE), which is an 8 week series of classes offered by Chapel Hill Homeschoolers. Currently FE is two hour-long classes for 9-and-unders, meeting at the Chapel Hill Bible Church. Emma and Mia are participating, and I drop Dallas off at Amber Craig's house to play for the day with Trevin and Corbin.

Emma is taking Lynn's Science class. Lynn is a former Mad Science employee who is now offering science enrichment class on her own. Emma's second class is an Art Class taught by Susan Holland.

Mia is taking ballet with Miss Kyra (I think I have her name wrong....) and then Lynn's Science class.

Given that both girls are taking classes and that Dallas is otherwise occupied, I am left with two hours of free time! Yesterday I went jogging. As I was ready to leave, Christine (Prisk) says, "Want to take Kevynn with you?". "Sure!!", I say. Kevynn is the Prisk's six month old daughter. The advantage of taking Kevynn was that I could put my cell phone and Savannah in the pockets of the jogging stoller. Kevynn slept the whole way. And Savannah guided me on a looped run/walk. Savannah is our Gamin GPS. :)

After FE it was on to Girl Scouts. Since today is the first Friday of the month, the meeting was a Leader's Meeting. Emma and Mia went home from FE with Christine. I headed, via McDonald's for a pair of cheese burgers (I just LOVE McDonald's cheese burgers), to the Westminster Presbyterian Church. We met at a table on the porch of the Scout Hut (a free-standing two-room plus kitchen and bathrooms building owned by the church). "We" being Lauralee Moran (our fearless Junior's leader), Michelle Lewis (junior leader), Kesslyn Tench (Brownie leader), Charlotte Dungan (Brownie leader) and me (Daisy leader). Our second Daisie leader, Merri White, was on her way to Georgia. A good chunk of the meeting involved sorting through badges, awards and such in preparation for next Friday's Induction/Investiture Ceremony.

On picking Emma and Mia up from the Prisk's house, Christine told me that Emma and Jaeger (age 6) had "gotten married" and "had kissed." Emma is now pointing out that this was "for pretend."
