Now add in fixing a lawn mower (ok JD fixed it I was the go getter person), getting the yard back in shape, taking care of the horses, cats, sleep over, grocery shopping, building the rockets, the many launches, and etc…and well our weekend was HECTIC. 

Isaiah had his evaluation today and was so nervous! I kept telling him he would be ok, I knew he knew the information he is so smart and holds onto a lot of info he just hears.  I was hoping his nerves would calm down so he could talk.  He seemed like he was making the judge smile a lot and when he was done he was very very proud of himself and so was I.

Here are his comments:

*Kept accurate records and information shared was correct.
*Poster was done well and very creative
*Knew project very well
*Was easy to talk to and stimulate conversation with his project
*Participated in at least 3 activities
*Knew pledge and motto (of 4-H)

I am so glad this project is done we won’t know if he placed till sometime this week.  To me it doesn’t matter if he places, he accomplished a lot this weekend and didn’t buckle under the pressure : )

Hope ya’ll had a nice, quiet, relaxing weekend!
