Dry run and minor trouble at fencing
This morning we did a dry run to the girls' new school to get an idea of what to expect on Monday. It went better than expected, only taking 15 minutes vs. the five minutes to their old school. Not a bad trip considering it's like eight miles further. I expect it to be a mad-house on Monday, so I figure I can tack another ten minutes onto the trip, but if everything else is as it went this morning, I should be able to get them to school on time and then get myself to work at a decent time.
It's not a new problem, but Shelby had some trouble at fencing today. She got "spoken to" by the instructor for celebrating after scoring points. She was additionally advised not to argue with the referee. There were several occasions that she blatantly argued with a scoring call. You know, like, "Nah-uh! He missed me!" Her instructor explained that she could get ejected from a match for such behavior.
