Tonight was H's talent show at her school. She played two different piano pieces. She did great!! She was very nervous, but despite the nerves, she played beautifully...she was steady and expressive.
A few weeks ago K had a band concert. It was the first time we ever stepped foot into his future middle school as this was a combined 5th/6th concert. The kids did amazing. I can't believe how much they have learned since September. The kids sounded great. K had a fun evening. He is continuing on with music in the 6th grade which I am so happy about but he may be switching instruments and may be entering into an entirely new type of music: ORCHESTRA! (more on that later!)
Yesterday we woke up with over an inch of *snow* on the ground. We all had a 2hr late start so H made us breakfast (blueberry waffles) by herself and the four of us sat and watched an episode of Little House on the Prairie before we even started getting ready for the day. It was so lovely to have an extra hour in the morning with the kids and Kyle. Today the sun came out and we walked H to school, then this evening we walked to and from the talent show under a blue sky! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!
K decided to show us his scooter talent on the way home!
Tonight K sat with Kyle while watching H. I think it nice for H to have the "tables turned" as lately she has had to spend many hours in the cold ice rink watching her big brother.
I snapped this picture of H before we left tonight! Beautiful Beautiful H!!
It is almost the end of an era as K is weeks away from leaving his elementary school. He has had excellent teachers that have cared, pushed and inspired this kid. It takes a great leader to inspire and motivate teacher and students to persue a quality education. Here are the kids with their really awesome principal!
Today I had an awesome surprise as my husband showed up during 5th period and brought my student teacher and me Subway for lunch. It was awesome!!! The three of us sat and had a relaxing lunch together. The students were surprised too when MR KIRBY came walking in. They giggled and blurted out "How sweet!" "How romantic!" "Look at Mrs. Kirby she is blushing." It was funny. Kyle and I had to step out of the room so my student teacher could finish her lesson. High school students get so distracted! :-) It was great to see my hubby in the middle of the day!
After walking Kyle to the office so he could hand in his Visitor's Badge, I was walking back to the teacher prep room when a substitute teacher told me to get back to class! AWESOME! Yes, I giggled and smiled!! It was a great day for so many reasons and one being the sight of...
SPRING BLOSSOMS!!
