I spent the day and evening at a recorder workshop. We played in the morning and part of the afternoon, and then we learned some English country dances so some people played and others danced. I did both, and it was pretty fun, but made for a long day!

Scot is going skiing tomorrow so I will have to think of something fun to do with the kids. They went to a Home Depot workshop this morning and Owen practiced his archery later at home. I can picture him getting into a solitary sport like that rather than a team sport, eventually. He really liked it when we tried it at the YMCA last year. We actually all had a lot fun with it.

Report cards came out on Friday. Both did well although Owen had a couple comments about him getting easily frustrated. Hopefully that is getting better over time. We talk about it a lot, but who knows if it's helping. They also got a packet of the school photos that I didn't order. I don't really want to get two packets of photos a year, and seeing this did not tempt me to order them! Declan was having a bad hair day because I didn't even know it was photo day and didn't fix it much before he left for school. What cracks me up is he has one photo where his eyes are closed, and that's the one they featured, but another version is shown on a couple of them with a nice smile, but it's not the main photo they focused on. Does anyone even look at these before they do them up?? I might scan them before I return the packet since they are kind of funny.
