William's 9th Kyu Test

William tested for his 9th Kyu belt over the weekend. We were all able to attend and cheer him on!

They test by levels, so he wasn't alone, and tested with one other 10th Kyu.  We also got to watch a student test for his junior black belt!  They all passed, and it was interesting to watch.  I kind of preferred the park testing though, it was so quiet, every noise seemed like an interruption. 

Grace helped me make up a sign to hold up to cheer him on.  It was really loud when we unrolled it in the testing room though. 

We are all proud of our William!

February 12th

Today's high was 34F. It was cold and windy, but no precipitation.

I went through the car wash, on my way to recycle the box from the kids medicine.

When I went in to help administer a math test to Emily's class, I found that Alice was the highest point earner in their school this week!  And Emily was second in her class.  And Emily scored a 95% on her test!!!! (She also finished the third grade curriculum in imagine math.)

Emily played with her slime outside, because she wasn't allowed to play with it at school and it is banned from our house.

For dinner we had split pea and ham soup.
