WHEW! May was a fun but busy month in our house. As preparation for summer, we started padding our schedule with outings but forgot that we still had end of the school year obligations too. Gary and I saw Larry the Cable Guy (Git R Done!) and chaperoned the prom. Gary wrapped up his high school boys season and added another team to the coaching to-do list. Maggie had an Orchestra Festival and a second concert. Molly forced everyone to play outside as often as possible and the whole family made a trip to Idaho for Memorial Day weekend.
Orchestra has been an interesting ride for Maggie. So it was fitting that the grand finale in her first Orchestra Festival was a song by Ozzy Osbourne. Wait…What? Yep, you read correctly. At the district orchestra festival Maggie and 200 other orchestra students performed Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne. It was totally awesome! Maggie has been conflicted about playing the cello this year. She loves to play but struggles with her own confidence in reading the music. Despite the challenges, she did really well and I can’t wait to see what the next year holds.
Molly has decided that she wants to be outside…all the time. She wakes up in the morning and asks to go outside. We get home from school/work/daycare and she wants to stay outside. While we were in Idaho, we went to a park in Sandpoint right on Lake Pend Oreille and she literally got to play outside the whole day…and she still threw a fit when it was time to leave! She has also realized the power of the Frisbee when she is outside. All she has to do is pick it up and she has the dogs’ full attention. Power is a dangerous thing…especially when you are a budding evil genius, like Molly!
