Extracurriculars!!

So the kids are involved in many extracurriculars this year. Emma is in the school choir and is taking a drama class. She had her first choir concert a couple of weeks ago and got to sing High School Musical songs, which of course was right up her alley.

Her performance of Cinderella is coming up in early November and is a pretty big deal. She gets to play "American," one of the many mice named after cheese who help Cinderelly get to the ball.

Emma is also getting signed up for Girl Scouts and can't wait to sell Girl Scout cookies and get her uniform.


Konnor is also very involved this year. He is a First Year Webelo Cub Scout and got a new uniform this year and is very proud of it, which is great because he has worked hard to earn it. He was busy selling popcorn to make money for our pack activities and did great. He will get to enjoy fun campouts and hikes, and will be working on many badges related to safety and various skills that will come in handy as he gets older. Since I am involved as the Committee Chair for the organization, Konnor has no hope of dropping this activity any time soon!

Konnor joined the RoboRattlers League at school this year as well, which is a Lego club. The boys will be competing in Lego competitions several times in the next few weeks. Konnor is learning a lot and enjoys seeing his friends two to three times a week after school when their team project is worked on.

Hockey skills & scrimmage class starts this Sunday and goes for seven weeks. It will be fun for Konnor to spend the time on the ice and get acquainted with the skills he has watched performed time and again on the ice by his stepbrothers and stepdad. One of his best friends is taking the class with him and this will be an especially fun treat for Konnor.

Talent show performance is in one week and, like last year, Konnor is dancing with a group of kids to a High School Musical song. This is a fun group of kids and Konnor has been rehearsing once a week for a couple months now to get ready for the big show.

Lots going on in the Broome household so stay tuned for more pictures!!!
