Fall Break

Fall break has come and gone! Mackenzie came home from her first day back at school and I was informed that we should have done something fun because she needs to write a 5 paragraph essay on their break activities. Apparently, part 3 of my root canal and taking family pictures wasn't entertaining enough for a 5th grade essay! But she's very creative and will come up with something, hopefully the truth! We did get together one night with friends and had pizza and played Rock Band until the little ones were ready to go to bed. Other than that, it was business as usual around here. Lauren and Mackenzie took one afternoon and roamed the neighborhood looking for anyone who would take pity on them and support Lauren's Soles4Souls fundraiser. They did get 6 bites, althoug I gather taht Mackenzie did the selling and not my shy Lauren. Mackenzie is not afraid of anything! Lauren spent some time working on a math project that will be due Friday. She has 5 soccer games between now and then and we knew she wouldn't have time for anything more than the normal homework. She played 2 games last night. She is on both the Varsity and JV teams for the middle school. She will play every Varsity game in the field and sometimes as a back-up keeper and will switch off with another girl and play every other game as keeper for the JV team. She also had a make-up game for her rec team last night. They lost both games, but she played well and had a good time.
