One A Penny, Two A Penny

Tonight was so much fun!  It was crazy chaos because we had to divide and conquer to get all the girls to their practices....4 to play practice, Karly to gymnastics.....then, quick everybody throw down some MickeyD's on the way to meet at the High School for McKenna's first 6th grade band concert at 6pm.  On the way there I was thinking....I know I am going to hear HOT CROSS BUNS tonight :)

So, we all get to the concert and we are sitting in the middle in the 5th row back.....great seats...and I remembered that Savannah was ushering at one of the side doors, so I look around for her and spot her at the door right across from our row.  She spotted me too and we started waving and then blowing kisses and then doing that one gesture where you are saying, "I'm watching you!"  We were both really into all our gesturing and then I realize....no one can see Savannah doing this because she is on the other side of the auditorium outside the doors....but, there are people....especially one man in  particular in a gray sweatshirt at the end of my row that thinks I am gesturing to HIM...... HAHAHAHAHAHA!  HI-LAR-I-OUS!

So, the concert was great....Kenna had a one note solo :)  It was intentional.  All the different sections had two representatives come to the microphone, one to talk about their instrument and, the other, to play one note.  Kenna demonstrated one glorious note on the trumpet....and then BOWED deeply, of course! :)

Then, they had a little surprise at the end of the concert.  The kids were supposed to pick one of their parents to come up to the stage, teach them Hot Cross Buns, and then the parents had to play it for the audience.  YEP, I not only got to hear Hot Cross Buns tonight, I got to play it with a bunch of other parents....my lips went numb :)

AND, Savannah is now learning the oboe.  In 7th grade she picked up the flute....in 8th grade she picked up the saxophone...and, now, her freshman year, it will be the oboe...she just got permission from her band director yesterday :)  She's working on being a one-woman band, methinks. (I must have been thinking of Kenna's pirate pumpkin....was going to remove methinks, but Savannah wants the word to stay put.)

If you have no daughters, give them to your sons
(Brad said no one will know that is actually a line in Hot Cross Buns....now you do :)

but, as for me, 

my daughters gobble up

THE HOT CROSS BUNS :)
