The band was invited to play for one of the elementary school performances in town and they only picked 6 kids to go.... of course Chy got to be one of the 6 LOL.....
I think she did so well... she even got a solo.... pretty good huh!
Here's some pretty lousy pictures of our little friends.... They are hard to get pictures of, but this will give you an idea of what the kids catch....
This is what we came up with for Church on Sunday...... it just kind of happened to end up this way..... What do you think???
The only complaint is she said it was too tight! The last pic is what it looked like after we took it out....
Well, here is the proof.... Chyanne performed in Region Band on Sat... I can't believe what the band did in one day... Tryouts were last sat and then this sat they all got together and learned four pieces and then performed them that night...They were so impressive!!! I was so proud of Chy!! Here are some pictures from that night and two of their songs.
Well, i did it again.... I found a new craft!! I learned how to do this when I knew that I would be sitting for 8 hrs waiting for Chy to tryout for Region Band.... so the night before I got on the internet for ideas and this is what I found. We are now addicted to them. They are really fun to do now that I figured out how to do
them!!! The instructions I found
were really detailed on how to fold the pieces but it didn't tell you how to put them together so that took some trys... but now look.... some of these are Chy's.
She had me cut out some pieces so she could fold them at school when she is done with her work. We even found a easier way to do them so hopefully Hayley can start doing them with us.
Our idea is to make a whole bunch of
these in different sizes and use them
on our Christmas tree this yr since I
am so sick of our old decorations and
bulbs!!! Now to think what else we can
make..............
(can you guess which one is my new favorite??? The black and white one!!!!)
Frodo was so cute looking out the window... well I think at this point he was sleeping..... he has started spending alot of time looking at the window. I think he misses our yard! The second picture is after I took the first picture... I guess I woke him up! Sorry Frodo... GO back to sleep....shhh.
Yes.. we tried another new hairdo!!! I like this one... We will have to see how it looks after a day of school, but it really looked cool when she left!! Pretty simple too.
Dad and Hayley spent hours in the woods exploring while Chyanne and I were at Region Band tryouts (she ended up getting 6th chair in the top band!!!!!!) They had a lot of fun crawling over trees, looking for fairy homes and seeing moss and mushrooms.... what an outdoorsman!!!! But I think they could have done without the mosquito's.
This is what I came up with for Halloween Dinner..... Watermelon brain, devil eyeballs, jello eyeballs, and bat legs smothered in vampire blood!! with sparkling blood for drink. The chicken (I mean bat legs) turned out great... so much that the kids had a hard time eating them because of the color!! It was really good. We watched "Christine" by Stephen King and waited for trick or treaters...... didn't get any!! Oh well, at least we had a scary filled night! (I thought that Christine was a little scarier when I was younger.... haha.)
And you thought pizza's weren't scarry!!!
This is what our pizza's looked like this week.
Mine was the mummy on the top. Chyanne
came up with the face and Hayley's was the
ghost. They were really good!
