Today M took us climbing! We went to Earth Treks in Rockville and she totally showed us how it's done. First she got N on the training wall, then Daddy, then me. Then she showed us how good she is by completing a really tough climb in the main room. Daddy completed one of the training climbs and N came close. Me, not so much. M has learned so much and it was fun to see her in her element. Climbing is a serious mental and physical challenge and she has really taken to it.

N has to make a t-shirt for the 100th day of school. He has to attach 100 of something to the shirt. He chose to use the girls' old Rainbow Loom rubber bands in a rainbow pattern. For the form to fill out, he said he chose the rubber bands "because they are pretty".

In progress:

Girls are back to school tomorrow; N has 2 days off for no good reason (professional development days). If not for private school we could have gone away or done something – oh well.
