Lillian and Fiona were up at the crack of dawn, whispering and giggling in Fiona's room. They were wearing purple sweatshirts and fitted pajama pants for their sleepover.
Alex also woke up bright-eyed and hurriedly pulled on some warm clothes and went outside to set up his lemonade stand--for the neighbors were having a yard sale and he was seizing an entrepreneurial moment!
Leaving Alex to mind his lemonade stand (as the neighbors looked out for him), we took Fiona to her testing for decided brown belt. We were very excited when Fiona was unexpectedly invited to be in the Leadership Club today! These are entirely different classes, and it's an honor!
We dashed home and brought the lemonade inside, although Alex was having a very successful stand, as we had to get to his taekwondo testing. We've just gotten home from that.
Alex is now recommended for his 2nd degree black belt, and he'll hopefully test for his 2nd degree belt in 2.5 months or so. Until then he can ogle it as it hangs on the dojang wall, awaiting that time!
Alex broke all three boards at testing, which was exciting! Though his sparring was not quite up to par with what I expected, his form was sharper than I've ever seen it.
After all that excitement, we are home for just a couple of hours. I soon need to cook three pounds of spaghetti noodles for the church spaghetti dinner tonight! We are all going to crash tonight after this busy, but good, day.
