Lizzy Did It Again

I swear, everytime I turn around I am having to go to one ceremony or another for Lizzy lately. Today Jeff and I went to the school as they were having an honors ceremoney and Lizzy was getting an award. I don't remember getting an award like Lizzy's when I was in school. Anyway she got an award for her GPA for the first semester of 3.2-3.49 they call it the Cum Laude. And this was when she was doing swim team and cheerleading. Not bad, if they counted until the first of this month thought she would have been Magna Cum Laude with a 3.5-3.8.

I guess I could have it worse. She could be getting bad grades, be a problem child. But noooo, she keeps getting awards and needs new outfits for all the ceremonies and activities that she has to attend for the end of the year.

Allard has become disillusioned about playing the violin and wants to change to the trumpet. I told him not yet, he can play trumpet next year if he buckles down and starts working harder on school work and music. I know that when he gets to 7th and 8th grade he can start playing two instruments. I need to find him a tutor for the summer or he will not keep practicing his instrument.

Evie is just having fun at school. She loves learning and being with her friends. However she is really turning out to be hard on herself when it comes to her work. She has made a few new friends here in the neighborhood. Her little gang of girls, they play dress up here a lot.
