Heading Out of Town

After Hubby read my last entry he told me this little tidbit. They were having dinner at Arby's on the last Guys' Night Out. #2 had ordered cheese sticks and was pulling them apart really far. A man walked by and said, "Very cheesy." After the guy was out of earshot, #1 said, "So was that joke." I leave this morning to go to Raleigh. I am helping to judge 4H Project Records this weekend. I did it last year for the first time and it definitely helped me to guide the boys this past year. My own two sons have 4 books to be judged at this level: Videography, Electricity, Plant Science, and 4H Discovery. I hope they do better this year now that I have more knowledge of what is expected. I am travelling with a friend to Raleigh and we are going a little early so that we can go to a used bookstore for home school curriculum. I am already starting to think about next year and what we should be doing. Crazy, I know. I did compute #1's Science grade yesterday for the 7th grade and he got a B: 81%. This is the first time that I have kept grades on either of the boys; in high school you have to keep grades for a transcript. He was happy with the grade; he hates science. His mother thought he could have done better, but she kept her mouth shut and congratulated him. Small steps. School will be out in about 3 weeks. WooHoo!!
