Yesterday's visit to the Waterford School (better link) seems to have gone well. No problems with food or costume and Little Dude was co-winner of the spelling bee! Managed to get some suffix work in before the trip to George Mason University and did multi-step multiplication in the car and the Patriot Center before the ceremonies began. J-Man's graduation was very nice and I'm glad we could attend. Luckily, it ended at 9pm; unfortunately, it was pouring down rain when we left for home.
ALM and Ms Giggles have been baking cookies for two days in preparation for the Bake Sale at the Potomac Station Giant, Saturday from 8am to 2pm. St Gabriel's youth are raising money to attend the REACH Workcamp in Hurricane, WV this July. They will be helping to repair the homes of needy residents for a week. Tuition is $399 a person and we have 10 people going this year, plus there are transportation and other expenses. And they have to purchase their own tools/supplies. Come by and get a cookie, muffin or brownie!
We have a full weekend of activities, but we need to see the new Star Trek movie! Guess we'll have to see if we can fit it in on Sunday, but it might depend on the weather. Saturday night would work with our schedule, but that's probably the most crowded time. And Little Dude likes to comment on the screen action which works best at matinee time.
Ms Giggles has filled out about two dozen job applications since arriving back home last week and has two interviews today. Hoping for quick success. Floggy called yesterday...to ask for $ of course, lol.
I'm still following the school boundary and school location battles that won't seem to end. Besides the local paper links, John Stevens blog has a lot of comments including the April 30 entry about Ashburn Farm and Lansdowne. Expecting some official news from Little Dude's school soon also.
Am thankful that friend's surgery went well and seminarian's thesis is completed; am praying for couple who lost their son to sudden illness earlier this week.
