Concert - Rocket - Interview

Tuesday evening we had the pleasure of attending Fox's first band concert with the 5th and 6th graders playing four selections each. Our favorites were the Popcorn Song that the 5th graders did with each section "popping" up to play their parts and the final song by the 6th grade "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown."

Alexandra hung out with Ethan at his ball game Tuesday night since both events were at the same time. Ray C's team lost again but at least they brought in 4 runs this time. Forgot to mentioned that Saturday I took the boys up to Independence Bank in North Branch so they could all open their own saving account. Hopefully this will cut down on the mysterious disappearing funds from around the house. Another project Fox has been working on is a bottle rocket that they will be shooting off on a fun day during the last week of school. Here are some pictures of his Eagle Rocket. I asked him to smile but he said he didn't want to because he's trying to look distinguished.


Alex worked at the Frontslide Youth Annual Golf Fundraiser Saturday and is delighted to be going in for an interview at Burger King tomorrow afternoon. Say a prayer that she receives divine favor as she is hoping to start earning toward her college tuition.


Got Benjamin signed up to play AYSO Soccer starting next Fall and then spring. I really liked the lady who is the current registrar and was excited to learn I also already know her replacement (Shout out to Lisa!). Since each parent is requested to volunteer I signed up to learn how to referee (this should be a hoot) and also to help with the newsletter if needed. No, I'm not going to be in charge, just helping! Today I subbed for half a day in a regular 6th grade class (Yikes!) and tomorrow I will sub for one of the band teachers again.
