Band, Bowling and Volleyball

Harley is still attending band at the local school twice a week.  She had a quiz on "Ode to Joy" and got a 97.

Natalie continues to attend daily for her two classes each day.  She has kept an A in each class all school year.  Natalie has her first Spanish presentation this week on a mini novel they read as a class.   Natalie has also started playing volleyball for a club team at Northwest Connecticut YMCA. She is a part of the Northwest Juniors, and her team is the Panthers.  She had her first tournament this Sunday and they got 2nd place.



 



We went Duckpin Bowling for the first time a couple of weekends ago.  In Duckpin Bowling, you get three balls the size of a cantaloupe without holes, and 10 pins that are about half the size of regular pins.  If you know all three down in two rolls, it is  a spare, if it takes the third ball, you just get the points for each pin you knocked down. The lane is the same length as a regular lane.  It is a lot harder than it looks.  It was very fun, but we didn't get very good scores.






Harley has been taking a Volleyball Clinic at the YMCA every week.  She has really improved and seems to enjoy it.



We didn't get much snow this year.  We only had two sled-worthy snow days.  The first both mine and Natalie's phones were dead and the second they were dying.  So very few snow pictures this year.

We had a junk food night and made homemade pizza, Garlic Parmesan Wings, Hot Wings, and Rotel Dip.  Natalie had to leave to babysit before the dinner was finished and had to eat leftovers from the night before. (enchiladas) So I made her a pizza, Randle decorated a pizza box, and Harley made Randle's "shirt" and he delivered it to her. Unfortunately she was upstairs putting the kids to bed and missed the delivery, but enjoyed eating the pizza.
