All State Choir

Little Lady headed back to Wichita this week for All State Choir.  She was a part of the Treble Choir.  She spent Thursday and Friday there, and the concert was Saturday.  A composer was the director.  It was definitely a fun experience even if the song choices were a bit bizarre. 

Fun Projects

 I think our cats are safe.

New Windows

Our windows in the family room were no longer sealed, and we had wood rot going through to the outside of the house.  It doesn't bring me much joy to spend money on things like windows, but it needed to be done.  They do look nice.

Also, my son is so funny.  He'd rather watch TV so oddly sometimes hanging off the couch.

Busy Day!

Little Lady traveled to Wichita for the KSHSAA State Piano Festival.  She felt really good about it, and received a "1" rating which is superior.  She was thrilled!  They drove straight back for a recital.  The 3 younger all performed.  

Sweetheart dance was also the same night.  Little Lady went with her friend Lexi, and Little Man and Brooke went together.

 We took the Littles out to dinner while the older two were out.  The boys wanted papusas, because it had been a while.

 

Now You See Her...Now You Don't

Small Ensemble

Little Lady's orchestra did a night of small ensemble pieces. She was a part of the Piano Quintet in f minor by Johannes Brahms.  

Valentine's Day

 Every year I write a letter to everyone in the family about the things I love about them.  It's become a sweet tradition.  This year my youngest 2 boys decided to write letters as well.  It was really cute.

We decided to do something different than usual. We went out for dinner and painting with another couple.  It was a lot of fun!

 

Another Runner

I've been trying to systematically make a table runner for each holiday.  Last year I bought the fabric, but I never had the time to make it.  I'm feeling accomplished that I actually sewed it before it hit March.  We'll just pretend like it's not a year late.

Hanging Around

I have no idea why, but Luna loves heights.  She loves to perch up high.  You'll walk up the stairs to find her hanging over the ledge on the banister.  It gives me mommy anxiety particularly when she walks along the outside of the banister, but she's completely un-phased. 

International Dinner Night

 This weekend we had our annual International Dinner Night.  Joel requested that I make a Spanish Tortilla for it.  We had a wonderful night of eating lots of great dishes, and of course I mostly forgot to take pictures.  We were remarking that almost everyone brought their food in an instapot or crock-pot this year.  

We got fun drinks to try from the Asian Market.  

Valentine's Party

 Little Guy got his valentines ready and then we had a fun time at his party.  

My Favorite Fish in the Sea

 This week was BVN's production of Little Mermaid.  Little Man played King Triton, and Little Lady played a sea creature and castle maid.  It was so fun to watch them in the musical together.
