Our Week in Review (June 17th-23rd)

Monday I had to take Nick and Alex to a meeting about their upcoming Citizen Washington Focus 4 H trip to Washington D.C.  This is the best 4 H trip and I know they will have a wonderful time and learn a lot!  We started planning for them to go on theis trip over a year ago, way before they won the SeaPerch and found out nationals was in D.C.  This trip will be longer and focus on completely different things.  They are looking forward to it.

After that the boys went and worked on a community service project, packing backpacks filled with food for the Bread of Life Soup Kitchen.

Tuesday was 4 H District O' Rama.  Lily competed in Junior Instrumental and won 2nd place.  She also received her trophy for her Home Environment Record Book.  Emmie is not old enough to compete yet so she sat with me to watch the instrumental competition. 

Christian and Anthony both did talks in Innovative Technology.  Christian did a Stopmotion Demonstration and Anthony did a talk on drones.  Christian won 3rd and Anthony won 5th and they both got their trophies for their STEM record books.

Alex competed in Bait Casting and won 2nd and got his trophy for Animal Science.

Nick competed in BB Shooting and won 3rd.  Nick and Alex are eligible to go to State O Rama in July and Nick will receive his State Record Book Award there.

Wednesday and Thursday were mostly stay at home days.  The boys went to youth activities and the girls and I went grocery shopping on Thursday.

Friday Lily had a sewing workshop.  They made a zippered pouch.  All of the girls did a great job!

We worked on some math, reading, and some writing this week on the days that we were home.  I did some curriculum research but did not make any definite decisions.  The girls and I did some embroidery on the machine but since those are gifts I am not sharing those photos. 

I hope you had a great week!  Next week will be a busy one for us!
