The chorus concert was amazing. A definite high for the semester of hard work. The parent volunteers who did the set decoration went above and beyond. The kids really loved to shine and turned up their game for showtime.
One funny thing that happened during the concert was that in one of our songs we had a surprise visit from Santa. In one of the songs we have about 90 seconds of nothing in the middle of the song (up on the housetop type song) and it is a perfect time to have Santa come dancing through. We didn't tell the kids he was going to be there. They were so excited and so surprised. Except for one child who started crying and ran off stage to her mom! That would be clare. She is terrified of Santa. It was a good friend of ours so she recovered herself quickly and went right back on stage to finish the concert as soon as Santa was gone.
Everything else was not amazing.
Here is a little conversation w/ lex to give you an idea of some of our lows.
lex: "momma, take my picture!"
mom: "sorry, i can't, the camera is broken."
lex: "That ok momma, you can use the phone."
Mom: "sorry lex, the phone is broken too."
lex: "oh, that is sad"
mom: "yes it is."
Camera broke Thursday morning during chorus rehearsal while Calvin was playing with it and I was busy conducting. I do not know excactly what he did.
Phone broke last Thursday morning during chorus practice. Calvin was being SOOOO out of control that I called Dan and he came to pick up Calvin for me so that I could rehearse. While wrestling w/ Calvin to get into the car I didn't realize that my phone dropped out of my pocket. I was in the drop off zone where parents can swing through to drop off their kids before school. My phone got run over about 100 times as all the parents dropped off their kids in the morning for school...I found it about an hour after I lost it and it was very beat up.
So, no pictures for the week including the kids seeing Santa, the chorus concert or sweet Calvin who I thought about selling this week. more than once.
If you need to talk to me call home or email.

oh man, that is a bummer. Glad the concert went well, though. :)
oh I'm so sorry! aren't kids great sometimes. Yesterday I was sooooo angry I told the kids santa wasn't coming and they were on the naughty list! one of those days.
i'm glad you had some great help from parents setting up and designing, that is so nice.
Isn't it crazy the older kids act out more than the younger ones sometimes? Dylan was a pill at church yesterday (probably b/c he was tired) but I expect more of him b/c of his age.
Sorry you had a rough week!
