There are many times I wish I'd been able to have our children earlier in my life and this past couple of weeks is one. I wish I wasn't so decrepit, so I could keep up with them better! The kids have done so much this week, it's amazing they are still standing. I'll list a few of them as I remember them.

PS I just had Jamie read this and he said, 'They're just a couple of unsocialized home-schoolers, aren't they?' {g}

OK. Tell Grace I'm a little jealous that she got to go see Avril Lavigne. LOL. No, I hope she had a great time attending.
I know, it is SO hard to find the opportunity to socialise enough, isn't it. You really must try harder. There must be some spare space in your calendar somewhere.
Is this a different drama class? I know that one was using a questionable play.
Bess,
Grace loved it!
Kathryn,
LOL!
Renee,
Yes, it's the same course, but different content, different teacher and different group. God was faithful to us for our decision to pull out of the other one.
WOW! That was a busy week!
Maybe you really do need to lock those unsocialized home schooled teens in the closet so you can have less socialization going on!
