Since my last published post that ended up in cyberspace, the family has been busy. THS did ok at the Speech Tourney. We got 4th, but T does not get to go to State. I was not surprised. He was pretty tired after the basket ball playoffs. That 5am to midnight run was a bit daunting. Those teams did pretty well, the girls got 6th and the boys 3rd.
At this time, I am making about a zillion cookies for the band concert tonight. The first batch was interesting, this last one was good..except I kept forgetting how long to leave them in the oven! A friend of mine and I were in charge of contacting parents to bring cookies, but we forgot. :o)
Last night was the choir concert. Our THS choirs are pretty good. (See tillamookchoir.blogspot.com) Under Mrs. Henderson's choir page. T is on it. They sang a silly song about chicken. T had a 'solo' during it. At the end, he did a very convincing cluck, but everyone was already clapping because they thought the song was over. J had some trouble, too. He has to wear a tie, but we don't use ties in our family. He is too large for a clip on, so we got him a lovely one with music notes on it. (he insisted)When he got to school, a couple of the boys helped put it on him, but it was pressing on his necklace and was uncomfortable. So, he moved the tie and pulled out his necklace. However, when he got up on stage (the tallest boy, in the center of the risers, and very obvious) it was twisted over to almost under his ear! I couldn't do a thing about it. But, T has a lot of friends in the choir (who were sitting in the front rows) and consequently, they know J. Thus, several of them caught his attention and on the count of three, mimed moving a tie. So, it was put in a better position. The funniest part was that out of the three boys, two checked on their ties when that happened!
I will get our browser updated so I can post pix again. Until later, have a great spring break! Ours is next week!!!
