Musical Fun

It's amazing how busy you can get if each kid participates in one activity, plus piano, then you add in the extra school activities or electives for each kid. We have had a lot going on and it just keeps going!

Saturday the girls participated in Federation. Last year was their first year participating in it. I am not allowed in the room while they play their pieces, but I could hear them from outside the door. They both did very well. Victoria scored an Excellent and Karissa a Superior. I'm proud of both of them! After Federation, we promptly drove to the outskirts of Detroit for Victoria's choir festival. Her choir sang two songs, one of them was a song I sang when I was in choir, A Jubilant Song. They scored an Excellent, so it was an excellent day for Victoria!

 Austin performed in the second grade school musical last night. It was all about outer space and was educational as well as fun. He started piano lessons this year and is really enjoying it, even practicing! He's not ready for Federation, though. I think you have to have played at least one year for that. Erik loves plunking around on the piano since all of his siblings do.

He's the one in the middle with red and black on.

Erik had crazy hat day last week, as part of the Dr. Seuss week and Karissa had a dress-as-your-favorite-book character day. She also participated in her school's science fair.
