Sunday...from evening to morning
- Dad finally finished the medium level of "Guitar Hero 3". Dad really has no hope of getting much further (into the 'hard' level...where Kevin now is about 2/3 of the way through). Hitting four notes was tough, moving onto 5 seems impossible.
- Matthew finished the easy level of GH3. He's doing really well. Christopher plays, but Dad has to 'strum' for him......
- Kevin had a indoor soccer game. The team won, Kevin's coach said it was the best he's played since he joined the team (this is game #4). More on the Fighting Figs (yes, that's the team name) in another post.
- Christopher's birthday party. 2 hours of managing 12 kids.....sheer exhaustion. Photos located here.
- Kevin had an indoor soccer game. Figs lost this time.
- Christopher had an indoor soccer game. The Cheetahs lost by a *lot*.
- Matthew had an indoor soccer game. The Chargers won. I don't really know the score when I'm coaching (the clock runs, but, the refs don't post the scores on it like they do at the older ages), but, the other team's coach was keeping track and kept yelling at this players that they were "up by a goal" or "needed to get one". I was just doing my normal rotation of players when Matthew hit the field with 90 seconds left in the last quarter...turns out we were down 6-5 at that point, and, well, 90 seconds later (and two Matthew goals later) we won 7-6. Felt bad for the other team's kids, who were really sad , and think that it's pretty lame the coach put such a focus on the score.....but, there's a part of me that really enjoyed watching Matthew score those two goals! (it's funny, Matthew's 'move' is to cross the goal-mouth from left to right and shoot back towards the left....every time Suzanne or I see this move we know what's about to happen)
- Matthew and Christopher had a basketball 'clinic'. It's really well run and the boys are having a great time doing it.
- Kevin (and I) got up early to get him to the SAT for the Midwest Academic Talent Search. Kevin reports he did about as well as he did on the practice tests we did at home...was able to answer about 1/2 of the math questions, did ok on the reading comprehension and enjoyed doing the grammar sections. We had some major concerns about the essay part, but, he apparently did ok there, and, that will be a subject of another post (I've noticed that the College Board posts the essay questions after the test, so, when they do I'll grab it and talk more about the whole essay process).
- Friday....the results of the Knowledge Master Open that Kevin participated in were posted. Third in the state isn't bad at all! That Niceville school did pretty well also....apparently the KMO competition is pretty big in NW Florida.
