Arsenal and Cotillion

We started the weekend bright and early, leaving for Jude’s first of two soccer games at 8:30am on Saturday. Jude played quite well in both games but they lost both of them. Saturday afternoon Jude played with the neighbors and Anna had a gymnastics function. Both were exhausted by the time they went to bed.

Sunday, Jude was super excited about the Arsenal game. One of our neighbors are big Manchester United supporters and they put up a sign in front of their house. Jude said we had to do an Arsenal sign (they were playing each other in a big game in the Premier League). Anna wanted to help so both kids worked on the poster and we had it ready to go before the game. BTW, Arsenal won 2-0.

Later today, Anna went to a friend’s birthday party and then Jude and Marcy went to see Captain Marvel which they both loved. While they were doing that Anna went to cotillion where she learned manners, eye contact and the foxtrot.

Jude had Friday off this week because of parent-teacher conferences (he is doing well in school) and he went with Marcy to Anna’s school where they were doing a presentation on a big group project they had been working on. It was on the respiratory system and Anna talked about what they did.
