I love the colors so much!
As I said, it's been busy around here, both on the boy child's and on the girl child's account. Last weekend was both the boy child's NYSSMA audition and the girl child's alumni dance for her old dance school's dance recital. We got the boy child's grade back from his NYSSMA audition this week -- he got an A or a 95. This may or may not get him into the Area All State Orchestra in the fall. We'll have to wait and see. If you get an A+ (97 or above) you're pretty much guaranteed to get in. An A means it's possible. So we'll see!
The girl child was of course in all 3 shows for her old dance school. And of course, being the volunteer-spirited child that she is, she also ended up helping out a lot backstage. Here she is onstage doing the alumni dance.
It's nice that every year some alums come back for this little dance and that they do get a chance to come back and participate and say hi to everyone.
This weekend, the boy child is off with his school orchestra for their annual Memorial Day Weekend trip. This year they've gone to Virginia Beach and will be competing in some festival or other down there today. And then they get to play -- as in having fun, as opposed to playing their instruments. They won't be home till late Sunday night. The girl child has to go back to college for her final final exam at 9am Saturday morning (whoever heard of a Saturday exam, for Pete's sake!). Then sometime either Saturday or Sunday, whenever she's all packed up, the father type and I get to trek down there and pick her and all her belongings up from school for the summer! Oh boy! NOT! lol! I won't even mention what's in store for next week. May is turning out to be a very looooooooooong month. I'm hoping June will calm down.
Have a great Memorial Day weekend, everyone! I guess in the UK it's happy bank holiday?? Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
