BUSY BEE

Heidi Heckelbeck was the busiest girl on the planet. Dad called her Lil’ Miss Busy Bee.

On Monday, Heidi had swim practice with her team, the Little Mermaids. They worked on the butterfly stroke.

On Tuesday, Heidi had Young Rembrandts. It was an after-school club with her art teacher, Mr. Doodlebee. The club had been working on a giant aquarium collage. Heidi made a pink neon jellyfish from paper plates, paint, and yarn.

On Wednesday, Aunt Trudy took Heidi to the Fine Arts Museum. They got to see all kinds of original art, from paintings to sculptures to videos.

Heidi’s math tutor came over on Thursday—that’s because Heidi needed help with word problems, especially the ones with fractions.

And, of course, Friday night was Movie Night at the Heckelbecks’. They watched Henry’s favorite movie for the fifth time. Not that Heidi was counting.

Saturday morning was all about the swim meet. The Little Mermaids crushed the Aqua Maidens in freestyle and breaststroke.

Then, on Saturday afternoon, Heidi accidentally booked two playdates for the same day!

Luckily, Bryce Beltran and Laurel Lambert didn’t mind, and they all played together.

And finally, on Sunday, Heidi helped her little brother create a costume for his history project. After that she had to finish her own homework.

Her whole family was impressed.
