December 3 - 9
"If you want to build a ship don't herd people together to collect wood, and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea."
-Kahlil Gibran
Bishop spent eight hours on Sunday discussing worldviews, ideologies, philosophies and more. He knows, understands, and discusses such topics at a very high level. He is actually quite a profound thinker!!!
Bishop completed his entry form for the art competition that he is submitting work in.
And it is mailed!!!
Maceo made cookies. I love that he has been getting in the kitchen more frequently!
Bishop had his culinary internship.
Bishop attended scouts. He gave his presentation on his community for the Citizenship in the Community merit badge. He picked his topic for his five minute speech for his Communications merit badge and listened to a presentation on constructing an effective speech.
Maceo had rehearsal for Titus Andronicus.
We celebrated St. Nicholas Day!
We played Skip-Bo.
Bishop went to pottery.
Maceo gave vocal instruction to a young student.
It was announced that Maceo was selected to join Home Team, the premiere improv team in town!!! Maceo performed with Home Team and substituted for a performer on another team.
Bishop did additional work for the caterer he works for.
Podcasts and music were listened to. Games were played. Discussions were had.
However, overall, the week hasn't gone as originally planned.
Our furnace isn't working, the temperature is dropping and, most certainly to add excitement to our lives, our power outlets, and a light fixture or two, are failing. The upstairs and the basement still have power but there is no power in the main bathroom, Maceo's room, Bishop's room (with the exception of his overhead light), and the dining room (with the exception of the overhead light.) The living room has two outlets remaining and the kitchen has overhead lights, the stove and the refrigerator working. The electrician won't be out until Monday so we are in for a long cold weekend. And the whole thing is throwing off our Christmas traditions. I can't set up the hot chocolate bar or the Christmas tree which really means that all the boxes remain in the attic until this issue is resolved. But that is ok, that is life.
The boys are spending most of the weekend with friends and I am sure that they are doing some great things and having a great time!
