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.
