4-H Club Days!

 On Saturday I was so happy to participate in 4-H Club Days for many different reasons. First, our club decided to do a new event for us. They tried doing a Model Meeting and I think they learned a lot! They had a practice outside of our club meeting, recruited some friends from another club to help and found a theme that made it fun for them. The club voted on the theme and much to the disappointment of Daryl and Alex, Star Wars won. They wanted sports but they lost the vote, and we had a conversation about how democracy works, and if you are a part of a group you don't always get your way. 

Daryl was the president for the model meeting and Alex was the recreation leader. We practiced a little at home and they both did great! So proud of them! They received a Top Purple for their effort. 

Alex and Daryl also both did an impromptu talk. Daryl likes this event and had done it before, this was the first time Alex tried it and he was very nervous. But they both did the event, and I'm glad they keep trying new things. They both got blues for their talks. 

I was happy to be a Club Leader and 4-H mom at Club Days and when our events were over, we left! It was so weird not to have to wrap up the event, and it was really nice. The 4-H Agent and Program Assistant were doing a lovely job, and I'm proud to still be a part of Shawnee County 4-H! 

Our Saturday did not stop there, Alex still had soccer and we did some valentine's day shopping for next week. We were on the run so much that at 5pm when we got home the boys were asking for dinner but I needed a nap first! Sometimes you have to wait for the cook to be rested or you're more than welcome to make a sandwich!

insists are "nice" sweatpants. Ugh

consider a nice outfit.
