Kid update, from while I was gone

The kids went trick-or-treating on Saturday night. Shelby was lauded for her cute costume, while Darby wasn't happy about the copy-cats (others with the same costume she had).

Darby had a piano recital on Sunday. I hear she did well once she got a copy of the music. She lost hers and had to get another copy from her teacher. Strange that she's been telling me for weeks that she knows it by heart.

Shelby had a fencing test last week and moved up another level. She has "one stripe", whatever that means.



UPDATE, 2 NOV

At fencing today, I further examined the ranks of the junior musketeer program. There are 24 levels (25 if you count "no rank" -- those not tested) to test through. An instructor said they'll tests every 4-6 weeks, if the student seems ready to advance. There two sets of green/red/blue rankings (which make up the apprentices, musketeers, and musketeer corps) each of which has 0/1/2/3 number of stripes. For example, 1st green (apprentice), 2 stripes. Here's a pic of the whiteboard with all the students' rankings (Shelby's is circled).
