Tonight my husband and I will have to split up and each take a child to an event. Laura has her cheer banquet and Eric has his cub baseball dinner/fundraiser. The funny thing is, we’ll be at the same facility, but in different rooms. How weird is that? Maybe we can carpool!
It may one of the few times the kids will be in high school at the same time. Laura is only 2 years and 5 months older than Eric, yet she’s 3 years ahead in school. His summer birthday was the reason for the gap– which means he’s one of the oldest kids in his class. My kids never went to middle school together- she was off to high school when he entered middle school. When Laura is a senior, Eric will be a freshman. Maybe they can carpool then, unless they have totally incompatible schedules.
The funny thing about tonight’s two events– mine is a potluck dinner (what we Midwesterners call it when everybody brings a dish to eat), while the baseball shindig is a fundraiser– everybody brings their checkbook. Nothing uniquely Midwestern about that!
