Each summer our city holds an art camp for two weeks for kids. There are various classes to choose from art, dance, singing, writing, etc. Last year Andrew and Ally both took classes and loved them. This year we were having some issues with the two of them constantly fighting so I bribed (yes, I believe in bribery) them that if they could go one week without fighting I would sign them up for the class of their choice. Ally chose art and Andrew, Lego art of course since he loves anything with the word Lego in it. They both were amazing for that entire week, not one fight among them. When it came time to sign them up I quickly realized to get them each in the class they desired I would have to be down at the high school four times a day. I was not looking forward to this and was trying to come up with a compromise, some other way to repay them for their getting along. When all was said and done, I signed them up for the art class they chose and spent each day in the car going to the school four times. They earned what was promised and deserved the chance to take their classes even if it inconvenienced me. They both loved their classes and enjoyed the projects they were able to create.
Andrew's sweet teacher took pictures of the kids' and their projects and posted them on a website for the parents to go see what our kids were doing. Andrew was even lucky enough to make the newspaper.
Yep, that's him in the back in the Texas Longhorns tee shirt. Don't comment on the shirt, it was a gift from his Aunt Tricia and he LOVES that shirt!
I'm really glad I signed them up for their art classes although next year I will be up at midnight so I can get them signed up for classes at the same time.
