Two Cool Things!

Cool thing #1:

Kourtney started taking Concerta recently for ADHD.  We've been watching to see if we can tell a difference in her.  A few days ago, Larry & I decided that we were cautiously optimistic because we *thought* we had seen a little change in her attention span.  Yesterday, we finally had a hip-hip-hooray moment!  She came in from school & after doing her homework, she began working on building with a box of Legos.  Other than taking a break to eat supper, she worked on building a pretty intricate house of Legos until BEDTIME!  WOW!  She's never spent that much time on ANYTHING!  Wow.......

 

Cool thing #2:

A few weeks ago, the school set up some archery targets & allowed students who wanted to "try out" to come play around & see how they did.  Savannah came home talking about shooting a bow & arrow and mentioned something about a tournament.  WELL.....come to find out, there is a statewide archery tournament in Temple in a few weeks.  They took the top 75 scores from the kids who "tried out" & they are offering them a spot on a special field trip to go to this tournament.  Savannah made it into the top 75!!!!  There are only 50 spots available, so it all depends on who gets their paperwork in first....who gets the best grades on their report cards...and then if all 75 do well, they'll take the top 50 archery scores.  We're pretty excited about this.  What a fun oppurtunity for her!  We've got the paper almost done so she'll take it back to school tomorrow & turn it in.  Can't wait to see if she gets to go!  If she does, Larry plans to follow the bus down there to watch and then will drive her back home if he can.
