Schools out...Burn all the homework!!!

The 22nd was our last day of school and the kids couldn't wait to burn the homework....  and of course make smores...  What better use of homework..

You can't tell in this picture but it is pouring rain and has been all day...  so it was actually nice to have a fire..

J and K have been taking a singing class with our Aunt K...  It has been a blast and the performance finally came around and they did a great job.. K enjoys drama in all things and found a great way to use it.

it was fun to watch them learn and memorize all the songs and dance moves..
They had a great group of girls and they had a lot of fun..
Now J on the other hand was not at all excited about singing and dancing, but he had a great time and he may say he didn't like it but we all know that he loved it..
And as you can tell he is a great big ham!!!  And he can sing pretty good too..  Thanks Aunt K  we are looking forward to next year..

Garden update

Okay so the veggies are coming along sloooooow but sure... This cucumber is so cute I don't want it to grow let alone eat it!!!
Here is some of my yellow Squash just starting out... hopefully it will not get to heavy..  we will have to watch that!!
I keep getting more tomatoes but they are taking there time turning red!!!  This is plant 1
This is plant 2..  There are about 4-6 on each plant...  I thought that my zucchini was doing good but when I went out yesterday a few of the leaves have shrivaled and died off...  I may need to call a veggie doc to find out what I am doing wrong...  The garden saga continues

Choir concert

So S had her end of the year choir concert it sure is fun to see and hear the difference between the beginning and the end of the year..  They did a great job.  They sang alot of complicated songs in a lot of different languages.


Okay so this picture is of the 7th and 8th grade choir that the music teacher teaches...  She combined the last concert to save on taking up another night...  But is it just me or do these girls look older than middle school age.....  The did a great job too!!
Here are some of the other members of the high school choir..  I have a recording of one of their songs that S had a solo in but I couldn't get it to load...

ouch...


I love that my kids are involved in sports and getting a little exercise....but there are bad sides to all the fun....  S took a hard pitch to the leg in her last softball game...  It definately hurt to see I can just imagine how it felt!!!
