Sunday
Maegan made it home last night around 9:30. She was pretty exhausted because she'd been up since 5:45 that morning. One of the girls in her room, Dara, had to catch the early bus at seven for her Ready Writing event (and ended up placing 4th) so they were all up before six. She did well in her News Writing event, she got sixth place and a ribbon. I am really proud of her. It was her first time competing in that event and she's only written one practice article for it last week. PNG won the sweepstakes for the whole event so overall everyone did very well. She also did Math, which is unbelievably hard. She only answered 11 questions I think but her score was over double what it was in the last meet. I looked over her math test she brought home and I couldn't believe she even knew enough as a freshman to answer those eleven! She also brought home a little bit of her news article, she didn't have time to recopy all of it, but what she brought home was really good. She and her three friends stayed in a room together that had a connecting door which they discovered connected them to a room full of junior and senior boys! Good thing these were all really good girls or that might have been a little bit of trouble. She said they went to Barnes and Nobles but did not get to go to any kind of book store on campus. They stopped in Conroe and ate at some Mexican place last night on the way home. I went yesterday and got Max so he accompanied me to pick up Maegan last night and she was thrilled. I got the temple sprayed yesterday so today she is going to try to get the front staircase finished and attached. She has to turn it in Friday and it still has to be attached to the board and then we bought some kind of kit that makes fake grass. So that will have to be put on and she has to write a short summary of some sort about it. I sure enjoyed Holly's posting and pictures, loved the little Wee sitting next to the 'big art'. So sweet. I'm waiting on Maegan to get up and Mom's going to try to call when she does. Zoe is resting in the brown chair and Max is sprawled out on the carpet in a patch of sunshine. Hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend. Love to you all.....
