Boys Club

Today the boys went to "Boys Club," (not to be confused with "gentlemens club") a club for 5 and 6 year old homeschool boys. They loved it! There were 7 boys, including my boys. They play and then have an activity every week. Today they also exchanged Valentines. Alex chose Spongebob Valentines and Nathan chose dinosaurs. They have another Valentine party with another homeschool group on Friday and they both chose "Wonder Pet" Valentines for that one.

Here is a small thought from the "Boys Club": One of the moms hosted the boys club in her house. Her house was very clean, she had everything very organized, she had chore schedules posted, she had a detailed daily schedule posted which included waking up at 5:30am, she homeschools her children and has a baby. I was envious of her organization. And seeming supermom skills.

Another mom there was pregnant, due April 1. She has been sick with her pregnancy. Her little boy came to her and told her that the toilet was not flushing. The host mother went into the bathroom and confirmed that the toilet had been clogged. Pregnant mother and host mother danced around the issue of who would plunge, for quite some time, so I said, "I'll do it." Host mother replied, "You're not scared of it?"
So I went in and plunged the toilet-- Superhero Kristie. I bet she was envious of my bravery.

Moral of the story: we all have our strengths and weaknesses.
