The Week at a Glance

Peter's view from the bus as we toured D.C.
Peter trying to steady the wind surfer at the Natural History Museum.
*Grocery shopping consumed all of Monday, but since Chris was sick and couldn't work, he came with me and we got to have lunch together at Costco.
*Sam has been running a fever since Tuesday with stomach upset and now scratchy throat, so he's been home all week.
*Wednesday I spent the day (until 5:30) with the thrid grade at the Smithsonians--American History and Natural History, as well as a brief bus tour of the monuments.
*Ben brought his Language Arts grade up from a D+ to an A just by completing papers and putting his name on them (this is the key), and ungrounded himself in just 2 days.
*Fred made a beautiful, laid out, ESPNews worthy attempt at a ball at the game last night. He also received a letter that he has been accepted into the National Honor Society. Mama's so proud!
*I led Bible study Friday morning on John 9 and 10! Awesome! and then danced the night away with Peter at the family dance at school.

Paula,

CONGRATULATIONS to FRED and BEN
on their accomplishments!!! I hope that Ben decides to put his name on his papers and hand them in on time from now on. He, as well as all your children, are very smart and they might as well let people know it.

Loved Peter as "The Surfer".
Hope that Sam is all better and stays that way.

I bet that all of the third graders had a great time going through all of the history museums and having the tour of the monuments of D.C.
Love, Mom

I smiled my way through your week at a glance, especially the lunch date at Costco with Chris. Sounds like our type of lunch dates. :)
