4-H

I finally got Katherine signed up with a local 4-H group. I have high hopes for this group. The last group we were involved with did NOTHING! I honestly don't know what possessed me to sign her up all the way in Nash County (well, yes I do- they had a lot of homeschooled kids from one of our groups...) I'm glad that we are giving it another shot. (That was in 2006- my year of being super homeschool mom- activities everyday of the week and dragging my kids all over Eastern North Carolina- I'm so over that!) It is a great program for kids. We went to her first meeting last night to discuss their booth for the fair. The theme this year is "75 years of fun" Katherine's job (who am I kidding- our job) is to decorate the table. One half of the table is to look like its from 1933 and one side is to look like it from 2008. In the middle will be a "cake" Happy Birthday to the fair I guess??? that the kids will decorate. They will also be painting pumpkins and making scarecrows. Should be interesting... I wish Bri was old enough to join... Chris has no interest whatsoever- too bad he would enjoy it- but I guess its not very "cool" whatever! Speaking of cool, I'm trying to get him signed up with the Civil Air Patrol. Looks like its an awesome program. He needs something like that to teach him responsibilty and instill in him a sense of pride and duty. I'm not even going to mention it to him, I'll let Elton talk to him about it- if I bring it up I can tell you what the answer will be!
