We've a bit of a busy week around here. I had my first ever Mathlete competition this week. I was one of 8 kids from my class to go. It was an all day thing, which means I got to miss school. (That may have been my true motivation for doing it). And we did math all day. Mom can't imagine much worse but I had a great time and we had a great team. Overall, our team came in 6th place but I have no idea how I did. The results are posted by initials only and there are two JGs on the team. One came in twelfth out of 96 and qualified for state and the other came in 50th and didn't qualify. We are all thinking I'm the twelfth one but we'll see. Hopefully, I find out next week....
This is my math team- Alexa, Scarlett, Jack, me, Audrey, Connor, Christopher and Luc. Pretty good group of kids, per mom.
The competition was held at University High School which is a nationally recognized hight school for academics and I have already decided that is where I want to go for hight school. Mom is thrilled that I think that high school is cool but sad that we are already thinking about that.....
Thursday night, Charlie Brown's Christmas was on. Mom and dad were much more excited about it than I was. They had their feet up, wine/beer poured and settled in for a long winter's night. I was on my iPad.
On Friday, my class had a field trip to Agua Caliente Park for a little science stuff. It was a great field trip- I love hangin' with my home girls.
Friday night, dad and I held down the fort while mom went out with some friends to see the UofA theater program's presentation of "A Streetcar Named Desire". It was really, really good. Mom didn't know what to expect of college level productions but she was really impressed and would encourage you check out your local campus.
On Saturday, we had my end of season softball party. We had a huge party and mom called ahead and suggested outside seating if it was available. If you think 11 year old girls are quiet, you haven't spent much time with 11 year old girls. We gave Meghan a nick name of "The Mouth", so you know where we're at.
On Sunday, mom and I went to see the movie "Wonder". We read the book awhile ago and loved it so couldn't wait for the movie. It was great and we would totally recommend it to anyone looking for a little light in their day. Oh. And bring some kleenex. But they're happy tears. I promise.
Have a great week!
