Four on Friday

Quickly popping in to do some catching up...

1. Last Saturday, Nathan, Asher and Ocean met again to finish their "first-draft" flyer for Science Olympiad. They'll be building more before the actual competition, but this was their starting point. After they finished, we took it over to our gym's indoor basketball court area to test it out. :) It flew, though not as they were hoping. So. There will be some tweaking and redesign...which they expected and is good. 

2. The following day, Noah and I journeyed down to Denver for the first JOAD tournament of the season. Noah's in the middle:

As starting points for the season go, it wasn't horrible. And we're feeling pretty okay about the fact that Micah opted not to do JOAD this season, as his assigned shooting time would have been Saturday at 8am (the furthest shooting time from Noah's Sunday at 1pm possible), lol. 

After he finished, we headed over to IKEA for a quick stop to get a replacement frame for Noah's kitchen chair. (Because, of course, it recently decided to join the list of things around the house that need replacing, lol.)

3. I finished my necklace challenge! It took me about 5.5 weeks of wearing a different necklace every day, but I did it. :) Really, it was pretty fun. It reminded me of what I have so that, hopefully, I'll do better at using them going forward. I'm going to tackle scarves next but think I'll give myself some wiggle room to account for warm weather. (It's been too warm lately to wear many of my scarves.) I counted 24 scarves, so will give myself all of November to wear each of them.

4. Everything else here is just continuing as usual...busy with homeschooling and karate and archery practice and swimming laps and Science Olympiad and all. Noah's had a couple of tests this week and also his advising appointment for spring semester. Nathan's busy with work and I've managed to meet a friend for lunch, get my hair cut and make it to the gym four times this week. Yup. Busy. :) 

TGIF!
