Thurs. and Friday May 14-15

Thursday we had the babies here again. We went to Mass, and then Connor did his normal things (Math, reading, vocabulary, Chinese). At 2p I took him to his Tae Kwan Do class. The instructor is rather intimidating, and I am surprised Connor likes the class as much as he does. Don't get me wrong; I think the discipline is just what Connor needs and I'm happy he wants to sign up for 6 months of lessons. The instructor expects a "Yes, Sir" answer every time, and Connor is simply NOT allowed to interrupt with questions. Connor's favorite thing to say is, "I have a question." It turns out that the dojo has a day class scheduled 1-1:45p M W and Fridays that Connor can attend. The other attendees of the class are adults, and I hesitate to have Connor join a class of adults; however, the instructor ensures me that the class is based on ability, not age. The junior class (for kids his age specifically) is at 5:30p, and I told the instructor we are NOT going to get back into running around every darn night. Our supper time and evening time together is simply too important. We have enough running around with Austin's sports. So it looks like Connor has yet another activity on his plate. At least boat-building and Impact Academy are finished now, and we'll be done with this session of Chinese in a month. I did tell Connor that he will have to eventually choose between horse-back riding and Tae Kwan Do because of the costs involved. We're currently spending as much on homeschooling Connor as we do for Austin's tuition!! On Friday we went to Chess class, in addition to our normal school things. Yes, we could go, go, go and have Connor in a class every single moment of the day, if we so desired!
