Megan did a fabulous job! They only performed four songs (thankfully), but they did it almost flawlessly AND Megan looked relaxed and like she enjoyed herself. I still am wondering if we should have left her in band next year. We told her she could only do one thing and she chose choir. She really wanted both, but I think that would have stretched her too much, seeing as she now is struggling so badly! Got her grades yesterday and it is A, B, D, D! English and Math are the hard ones for her. Now I can understand Math being a struggle for her, but English? She just needs to complete her assignments and pay attention and that should do it, right? Aarrgghh! I've never struggled with English and it has always come very easy for me, so this is very frustrating.
I do have a pic of her, but my camera is holding it captive!

Mississippi in May!
I LOVE SPRING!
Although I could do without my allergies! Katherine and I seem to be struggling the worst with it. The Zyrtec advantage is now over and there is no other meds for us to try.
Yesterday we all gathered at the cousins' for a Cinco de Mayo festival. Their new house seems to fit the needs of a big friendly gathering. Everyone had a ball, although my crew seemed happier to just be there and not necessarily have to socialize. Kimberly seemed happier with the dogs, but all in all we had a good time.
Paul is off to Omaha for 9 days and asked that I get the dining room leak situation resolved so that when he gets back we can drywall and hopefully get our dining room back in order!
The kids in traditional school are getting excited for school to be out and the homeschool kids have another month left before they are done. Rebecca has her standardized test next Tuesday and Wednesday and I get the honor of testing the sixth graders in the local hs group.
We also found out about a homeschool support school just about 10-15 minutes from our house. I think we are going to check it out, but I am pretty unsure about it. Although you meet with your teachers only on Monday, I kind of feel the kids are better if they have a routine that is the same EACH DAY.
Megan has a band concert tonight at 7pm....just love those beginner band concerts...where are my ear plugs?! She also has tutoring from 4:30-6:30, so it should be a very busy night!
Tuesday Katherine has a farewell concert for the seniors at 7pm
Wednesday Lauren has her ballet recital dress rehearsal from 4-6 or 7. Megan is also supposed to have tutoring from 4:30-6:30 so I don't quite know what to do with that yet. I may have to ask a neighbor to take her and pick her up....have to think on this.
Thursday is the band awards banquet and Stephen gets to go to the high school for a field trip at school to watch a football game!
Friday is Lauren's recital at 7pm and Katherine is supposed to have the choir awards banquet, but Lauren is supposed to be downtown at the same time Katherine's awards banquet takes place and I know I can't make it back in time to pick her up....still rolling this around in my head as to what we are going to do. Okay, what I am going to do. Paul of course is gone, remember?!
I hope you all have a good week!
Love,
Kris
