Gert - what ya been doin' on your special-est of days?!? Hope that Stymie guy took care of ya today!
So, DS decided he wants to join the TV Video Production Club. He "forgot" to tell me they were meeting yesterday after school so that we could make arrangements for him to stay and either ride the "activities bus" or for me to pick him up. So, ummm, yeah, he missed the first meeting. He told me over breakfast this morning.

So I called the Activities Coordinator today & she told me to email the teacher who's in charge of the club... They only accept 12 students!

They basically had to write an essay yesterday describing why they wanted to join the club, what kind of movies they're interested in making and tell about a "Wow" moment in their lives.

She said if he takes this initiative to write it up on his own and bring it to her in the morning she will consider him with the other applicants. So "we" just spent I don't know how long working on this. It is so hard to get him to elaborate on the details sometimes!!

I was like you either WANT in or you don't really care and don't ask me for any more favors!

I am not impressed with his "wow" moment that he chose to write about but some parts of the rest of it sounded pretty good. So we shall see. I am sure he has some tough competition for these 12 spots!!!

I will not hold my breath anyway. As an alternative, I am trying to talk him into the Newspaper Club....I think they take more kids...but that also requires writing a sample article....which he does not want to do yet until he finds out if he makes the other club first.
I am glad Cam & Tyler seem to have mastered what it takes to get thru the 6th grade! (We forgot our jacket AGAIN today......

) He's killin' me!
