Buddies & Rock Paper Scissors

Benjamin has two "break days" as he likes to call them.  His actual school day ends at 1PM (I know, crazy, right??) However on Mondays after school he has an hour of German language instruction provided for free through the school and then he goes to the after school care called "Late Birds" to play with his friends for an hour and he and Josie then finish at the same time (3PM)  On Tuesdays he goes to Late Birds from 1-2 and then has Chess club from 2-3, again making him and Josie on the same finishing time.  Wednesdays he goes to Late Birds from 1-2 and then attends an awesome Lego Robotics class from 2-3:30. 

Thursdays he has nothing after school (Break Day #1) and Fridays (Break Day #2)
he also has nothing from 1-3 but then we head back to school for lacrosse practice from 3-4. 
Because 2 of his friends also play Lacrosse we have gotten into the habit of having one or two of his friends over after school for a couple of hours and then we all head back for practice.
This week he invited Adrian and Clayton.  Adrian's mom is the one who organized the Lego Robotics birthday gift and so Adrian was really excited to see it built. 

They eat lunch all together and then play.  The only complaint is that the time really does go by so quickly and before we know it it is time to head back for practice. 
And since we have moved here Rock, Paper, Scissors has become an obsession.  We have family tournaments and individual matches on nearly every bus or train ride. So the boys got into a match while heading back to school for practice.
