Extra Credit and Tests

What a busy Saturday this week! Julie took the 5 hour SAT Test. We told her before she left that she needed to do well, because this one event would determine the rest of her life, but no pressure. She had studied quite a bit, but when she finished these were her comments... Julie Warnes thinks the SAT is the worst form of torture ever invented!!!!!! What did high school students do to deserve this???????

While Julie was busy with the SAT, Brian had an extra credit science assignment to visit and take notes at the California Academy of Science in San Francisco for over seven hours. Craig and I took him and two of his friends. It was enjoyable but long.

On Friday at school, Julie was asked to take the place of another student as a group leader at the fifth grade week long science camp. They left on the bus this morning, so we will see her next Friday. Wow! It is busy, but fun!

Wanna Dance.......All Night???

It is so much fun having two teenagers. They both got dressed up for the stake dance a couple of weeks ago and looked great. I didn't have time to take a picture, so I made them get dressed up again the next day after church and tried to take a picture. What a challenge to get them to obey me and take a nice photo.

They love to sleep in as long as they can and then stay up all night!! Literally. On New's Year Eve, after they got home from a stake dance at 12:30am, they said they had always wanted to see if they could stay up all night and asked for permission. I thought they were crazy, but closed my door and went to bed. The next morning, at 7:15am, I checked on them and they announced that they had indeed made it and had 5 minutes to go, because according to the internet sunrise was at 7:20am. They had movies, popcorn, soda, and anything else they could think of. I'm still not sure of the point other then they did it "because we can". At 7:20am, they stumbled into their beds and were out!!
