Tonight Blake is having a study group at my house.  Subject – math.  The group consists of mostly girls (surprise, surprise), but they are really, truly studying!  I am among the most surprised.  These are social kids, most of whom probably  drive their teachers a little nuts with their chatter and class clown antics. (Yes, Blake would fall in that category) But they have been in there with their noses to the books, throwing out equations and numbers and letters.

But if it’s all work and no play, well you know what happens then.  So it was absolutely  essential to order three large pizzas.  And play some of their favorite music.  And of course, as any good mother would do, show some of my best dance moves…

Paul put his good math skills to use and helped tutor them a bit.  It was fun to see them all working together to, literally, problem solve.  All crammed around the table.  No video games.  No cell phones.  No computers.  Just kids and books.  And pizza and music and dance moves.  Pretty cool.
