This morning Corwin went off for his big tests for getting in to the University laboratory high school. What’s odd is that we wouldn’t get paid for letting them experiment on him. Mom thinks it might be a good idea anyway. He had to be there by 7:30AM after studying hard the last couple of weeks. The vocabulary has been fun, although my favorite new word for Corwin was “surly”. Heh.
Charles had a chess tournament all afternoon. I was left with Alice and Corwin because the boy vs. girl soccer game was mid-afternoon. That it as 40°F with high winds didn’t stop the game. I put Alice in snow pants and a warm jacket and she did fine, playing with Zina while I tried to take pictures on a very cloudy day.
For the evening Alice rented a movie which she, Charles, and I watched while Mom and Corwin went off to a Brandenburg Concerto which had Charles’ cello teacher in the orchestra. Corwin apparently slept through most of it. I suspect he might have been tired, as he fell asleep in the van on the way to the soccer game (he stayed awake on the way home because he wanted to rent a new Wii game).
I put the myself and the kids to bed after that. Charles was asleep within 10 minutes of going to bed. Alice stayed up until Mom got home to make sure Mom wasn’t out misbehaving or past curfew.
