Well, so far so good! We are five weeks into the 9th grade and I still have some sanity. Last week was homecoming week. Wow. That was interesting to experience as a parent. The mum and garter thing, what a nightmare. We went out to a place in Dallas called the Sale Place and bought everything to make Kellee's Mum and her beau's garter. That was fun! We made T-shirts for 3 of the spirit days that week. Wow, who knew... What a busy week it was. I am so glad it's over. Shawn's friend decided she didn't want to do the whole mum/garter/game thing, so I was spared some expense... (Ended up being a good thing, cause we had to go out and find him a suit during the homecoming events).

Shawn had his first Adv. Theatre Arts comp. on Saturday. He was AWESOME! Shawn Sr. and I went and watched the prelims and they did a great job. He was doing a Duet with his friend Alex. They made it to the Semi- Finals. WOW! The only Freshman team at SGP to make it to semi finals that day! How cool is that! Didn't get to the Finals, but, hey, he has the rest of the year to get to that point. A great start I would say though. We went out on Thursday and Friday and found him a suit for the competition. (Now that was an adventure). He looked great! So handsome!

Kellee had her third Cross Country run. She shaved off 2 min in her 2nd run. Her 3rd run, not so lucky, but there were a lot of hills in her 1st and 3rd runs. So, we will see what this weekend brings. She really seems to be enjoying Cross Country. And I am happy that she is staying active.

It's so interesting to experience High School from a parent standpoint. Wow, now I know what my parents went through. Poor things!

I will try to post some pictures tonight.

Quickie

Ok, well, a quick update. Last week was Shawn and Kellee's first week as 9th graders! Wow, they grow up so quickly! And they are attending SGP! GO WARRIORS!!!

Shawn tried out for Tennis, and also had his frst audition for the Fall school play. He is taking Theatre Arts, PE, and Animation as his electives this year. He had a very busy week last week. And is looking forward to a great year, full of lots of things to do.

Kellee transferred into Cross Country, and has been running ever since. (She ran 5 miles yesterday - I know, it was a holiday - but they still had to go to school to train...) Soccer try outs are in December for school, and she is looking forward to that. Kellee is taking Cross Country, BCIS (Computer class) and Health for her electives this year. Kellee is still a part of Odyssey East team (competetive soccer club) and is still enjoying that.

So, we keep pretty busy! But, I will post as much as possible.

OK, I finally did it!

Well, I know, it's about time. I have finally joined the blogging community!
