Relaxing MLK Day

We started the day with a piano lesson for August and a consultation for Hazel. Looks like Hazel will begin her own lessons in February and she is super excited for it.
I am really enjoying the kids as they find activities that motivate them.
I know I've talked to some of you about my fears that August lacks any motivation to do well...I think that maybe I'm just supposed to learn to wait things out with these kids. I think I keep expecting them to just love everything we present before them. The reality is that they will find things to dig their fingers into...all I can do is offer them variety.

After piano we walked down to the local coffee shop because they sent the neighborhood houses a super coupon for their delicious crepes. We of course ended up with two crepes and three hot drinks. Hazel worked on the gift she's making for Kat's birthday while August worked on some pretty cool sketches.

Later tonight we are meeting Kat and Justin for some West Seattle Thai food to celebrate Kat's birthday.
And then...we start the school/ work week. Thankfully we have two weeks of four day school weeks.
