Weekly Wrap Up - The Plain Week

I can't believe it's already Friday and time for another wrap up already!   It's been a pretty low key week, but those are always welcome.

Monday schoolwork went really smoothly and both girls were done by early afternoon.   Olivia had an algebra II test and scored really well on it.  I think I heard the hallelujah chorus start as I was grading it, grins.   Lindsey had her last 4-H sewing class of this session in the evening.  The next session starts in February and runs through August. 

Tuesday Lindsey had a pre-algebra test.  This one was a little stressful for her because she's working on finding perimeter and area of various shapes and she thought she'd have to have all the formula's memorized.   You can't begin to imagine the look of relief when I handed her the formula strip that goes with this test.   Olivia had an early basketball practice from 3:30-5pm.  We were actually home relatively early and the girls decided to use one of their stocking stuffers from Christmas and have a "spa night" after dinner.

Wednesday we hit the books hard and Lindsey was done by lunch time.   Olivia wasn't as lucky and had a little more government to do than she'd anticipated and so her day went later into the afternoon.  Part of the reason for the delay is that we had to take Lindsey to her interview to join the John Lewis Society.   She took her lap quilt as her topic piece and the interviewers both encouraged her to enter it into the county fair this year.   She was approved on the spot, and we were told she had the best interview of any of this years applicants.   She was SO very excited.  Her training starts in February and she should have her costume by late April or early May.   When we got home from the interview, Olivia finished up her last class of the day, art.   This is what an artist looks like after working with charcoals for a bit, and yes she has it on her face as well, sigh.

Thursday Olivia's big thing was an American history test on WWI.  She aced this one, no surprise there.   If I could only find a way to tie algebra into the wars we'd be golden.   Olivia's basketball team had a game at 6pm.   They won this game giving them a 3-3 record for the year.  Olivia didn't get to play at all, and to be honest I was annoyed since she's been a bench warmer almost the entire season.   After the game, the coach told her she'll be a starter in Friday's game because "you haven't complained one time about not getting to play".  

Friday (today) we have co-op in the morning.   It'll be a short day because our language arts teacher and her family are out of town, so we'll just not have that one class and be done by 11am!   I'm unbelievably excited about this.  We'll have Olivia's ball game in the evening, and hopefully I'll have something good to report from that!

Have a great weekend!
