Currently they both take jazz/ballet/tap lessons on Mondays. They've been doing this for a few years and love it. Tuesdays are reserved for Irish dance which Molly is starting this year as well. So that's it - their 2 activities. HA!
This is where the rationalization comes in. We have a school/parish choir. I have told Brenna that I think it's important for her to do that (and altar servers) as a way of giving back and participating more fully in the church - especially since she's at the parish school and we're going to be at Mass anyway. So that practice is on Wednesdays.
Brenna also takes flute lessons at school. That's no imposition because the lessons take place during the school day. Well, except that evidently (why are parents the last ones to find this out?) anyone beyond the beginner level participates in the full band which meets after school. So that's Thursdays.
And then there's scouts. Who can say no to such a wholesome activity? And since - oh yeah - I co-lead two troops so it's probably good for my own kids to belong! And it's only a few Fridays and nothing conflicts with Fridays.
So there you have it - 2 activities that keep us on the run every day!
The one thing Brenna has begged for for the past few seasons is to play soccer. Umm . . . when do you think you can fit that in? Last week she was able to do a special one day clinic that the women's team from American University ran for some of our school kids. The college girls were wonderful and Brenna really enjoy finally getting to play a bit.
Lucky for her is was on a non-scout Friday! :)
