Extracurricular

This week the extracurricular activities started. The calendar is once again full.

Tuesday started Cub Scouts. I was recently called as a Wolf Den Leader and it was my turn to teach. Nothing like jumping in and getting your feet wet. There are 13 boys in our den. They are busy. But I'm excited and I think I'm really going to enjoy this!

Wednesday Spencer started gymnastics again. Seeing him move around the gym and his happy grin made me realize how much we missed it over the summer {that and his constant monkeying around on the furniture ALL summer long!}

A new addition to the mix was ballet for Ruth. It is in the same building as Spencer's gymnastics, directly after his class. It is a 3-5 year old class. Ruth is the youngest by far. Emma would have been better suited for this class. And so it is taught at a much higher, technical level. Simply put it is not age appropiate for a 3 year old. My biggest fear is that it will be a repeat of Emma's ballet experience and she won't want to dance at all. She is doing clogging for sure in January...so... I'm thinking there is no need to push this and most likely we will not continue it.

She sure had fun getting dressed for class though.


She did the first 10 minutes by herself but she got progressively more unsure of the situation so I went over next to her to help.





Spencer took it upon himself to be our photographer. He was able to capture the event in about 30 photos.



We rush home after that for Austin piano lesson. It makes me happy to hear him back at the piano.

On Thursday Emma Lynn had her first Art group lesson with Sister Wolfe. We have been looking forward to this for just about forever. I'm so excited for Emma to get to know and admire Beth. She is such a wonderful role model and Emma already adores her. There are 4 girls in her class and they work with color pastels to practice shading and shadows. Love.



In October Mondays will be Girl Scouts and the week will be officially full. TGIF.

Man, you guys are busy! :) Sorry to hear Ruth's class wasn't better but I think it's okay cause she'll do dance in January. That'll be fun. Tell Emma I think her chalk drawings are amazing! Awesome. And so glad Spencer is happy in gymnastics. :)

This is Halloween Nite!
