Let the Crazy Stuff Roll!

The first month back to school is crazy for us getting Alex back into the groove of things.. but it has nothing on the months to follow.. The beggining of October signals the start of parties and clubs and meetings and tournaments.
This month we have something almost every day..
Drs Appts, Music Lessons, Student Council (New Addition to the plans and Alex couldnt be more excited if he tried) Karate Class, Tournament Class, Karate Pictures and Halloween Party.. as well as an annual Halloween Party we always go to.. Then some blackbelt tests that Alex needs to attend as well as the Tournament on October 25th that Both Jason and Alex will be competing in for Board Breaking and Self Defense respectivly.
Alex is working very hard to remember his tournament routine. What breaks he is using and his intro and he still has to work on a self defense set for the tournament as well. He won't be doing Point Sparring because, well to be honest because he hates it. And because he needs new sparring boots and with pictures and class fees and entry fees I just cant hack the extra cash for the boots right now.. so it all works out. Rather pay board fees than Boot fees. One he likes. One he doesnt.

Now on to the student council thing. Last year I noticed that three girls in his class where announced as class representives of student council. So I asked Alex how they got on student council and he says they told the teacher and the teacher submitted their names and then the person in charge chose. He REALLy wanted to be on student council and hadn't gotten the chance. So when the year began I encouraged him to tell his teacher that he wanted to be on the student council this year. So he was soo excited last friday when the annoucemtents where made and he was chosen to be on student council for this school year. The meetings are the second Wednesday of the month at 8:30.. so he has to be at school early but that isnt a problem for us. He is really looking forward to being part of this and I am soo happy for him.
Thats about all I got for now. Will update more later this week I hope. I would really like to get some new pictures taken and put up soon.. Fingers Crossed.
