So we have seen some diligent work out of our two girls in the recent weeks. Alexa received 12 books that are at the 3-4 grade level reading and read all of them since CHristmas. She now has 12 more and knocked one of them out yesterday. She is so far out in front of her class in AR points(points they get for taking a test and passing after reading books) that it isn't even close.
The two of them talked grandma into taking them to Michael's when she went there to use a gift card she had received and they came back with all kinds of coloring materials. From full size posters, to little pictures and everywhere in between. P.J. colors and her big picture view is that of getting the picture done. She colors inside the lines, she puts thought into it but that is it. Alexa, unlike her reading style colors, takes her time and in the end the picture looks like something that could win an art show prize or something.
We are still working on my race car to get the suspension right for the upcoming season. We have so many projects going on right now that dad has got to be bogged down tremendously. But, on we march. Last night we worked in the garage pretty late for the second night in a row to get the suspension right on the car.
Today is hump day, my favorite evening because tonight is youth night. I love youth night, though it's about a 5 hour deal for me between picking up kids, hanging out with the kids, doing a Bible study, hanging out some more with the late arrivals, then driving them all back home. It's quite an ordeal. I did far less work to make Wednesday night fly as a full-time youth pastor than I do now. But it is all worth it, for sure!
Thanks for reading and have a great day!
