Ready for Recital…almost

Was a busy day here getting ready for recital. Getting cleaned up and dressed up just a bit.

Finding our music and heading off.

We listened to 10 or so little kids and next up was Lil’B

I thought he’d be okay but then the last second he balked.

And Lil’B just couldn’t play tonight. He’s the type of little boy that is either going to play or not. And tonight was a “not” night.

Jr. on the other hand is getting to be a seasoned little player with this his 4th recital. He played lovely.

Lil’B played his piece at home quite lovely too. Maybe next time…that’s what we said when he was *so* upset. It’s okay. Maybe next time.

In other news it is now windy, windy, windy and COLD. Where did that come from? Or rather that’s what I get for not watching the weather!

Boxes for No Reason

We didn’t quite make our plan for our dear Uncle K. happen. But we had intended to send

BIG WISHES!!

Alas we were not quite successful and instead sent

small wishes.

Uncle. K on the other hand once again achieved “Jedi Knight” or maybe Yoda?? then again it is probably “Sith” status what with the boys’ drawn to the dark side (ha ha ha ha). How? By sending the boys a Box for No Reason that had….action figures in it!! I think Boxes for No Reason are almost better than presents for an occasion. I snapped a picture of the boys saying thanks and enjoying their new people.

Best part of this idea was the attempt to get the above picture. I have four or so that look like this one:

1. finding an old friend after a number of years AND finding her in a wonderful, happy place in her life.

2. hearing that another friend getting a weekend all to herself and finding myself feeling bubbles of happy for her!

3. knowing that one of my favorite book sales is coming up in just a couple weeks.

4. getting all the packages in the mail!

5. locating the boys’ artwork so I can photograph it for the upcoming Kid Art Auction for Earth Day 2009.

Whoa where did the week go…oh yeah…

So we made it to Saturday. It’s raining but smells like spring so I forgive it. We’ve had a long week at the soapbox. I’m behind on several things and owe a few packages which since missed the post office hours today will go out Monday. Hopefully I have a few forgiving people in my life that don’t mind whem I’m days late – I will also lace the package with goodies to soften the tardiness! I’m curling up on this dreary day with a book and boys that are feeling much better than a day ago.

Future posts coming about our model homes which we finished and “showed” today.

My grace posts are off a bit now but basically the last four days I was thankful repeatedly for these five things so I’m counting them as 4 lists in one. I’m sure that’s a cheat a bit but really it was pretty much my thoughts everyday.
