On the menu: Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo and artichokes
And now a blast from the past with
Griffin and Sienna...
In other news, Cam came home with a red eye one day and said a branch had swiped it. He said it was fine, so I didn't worry too much about it. THREE days later he found this twig👇 that had made its way out from under his eyelid while he was asleep 😱
Excursions to St. George with
"E-so-bella" and Cade
Cam was selected for student government again this year, and since he'll be a 9th grader, he's considered a student body officer and can run for President or Vice President. I received an email with the application process, so I let Cam know and asked if he was going to apply.
Cam: "No, it's too much work and not enough benefit."
Me: "What do you mean more work? Like what? More responsibility, time commitment, and decision-making?"
Cam: "No, student council does just as much work as the president does."
Me: "So what extra work then?"
Cam: "You have to write an essay to apply."
Me: "So... you don't want to apply for student body president because you have to write an essay?"
Cam: "Well, ya. It's so much extra work for not enough benefit. You maybe get 10% more respect."
Rob: "Student Body President of a large middle school on your resume and for college applications says a lot about your leadership and communication abilities, enthusiasm, responsibility, diplomacy, community spirit, and dedication. Thousands of dollars in potential earnings and scholarships—that's a significant benefit. All for the price of one essay."
Cam: "Everyone is applying."
Me: "For the cost of one essay, you have a shot. If you don't want to apply for other reasons, that's different."
Cam: "I just don't want to write the essay!"
Me: "You don't have to turn it in, but you're writing the essay. You have until end of next week."
Amen.
