Good day today. Got a lot done in the office before picking up my kiddos, also picked up a little guy that we are helping out for a couple of weeks with a ride. He is a kindergartener but is quite the  conversationalist and if my Waze had malfunctioned at all he would have been able to step in as navigator. Adorable. Then classes where I worked with a lot of new belts on their new hop steps and hooks, and helped run some kiddos through for their makeup tests. We have quite a few new afterschoolers in class too but some of them are Group 2 kiddos from summer camp and they are having a great time and start to the school year. After sparring class I came home and finished up on some requirements while the thin crust pizza I made was in the oven. My dogs kept me company...probably looking for more dropped cheese but that's okay. Off to get some sleep, have a beautiful Friday. If you see Master Hartle wish him a happy birthday!
