State and Snow

We had region orchestra festival this past week, I wasn't so sure about my group - but they pulled it off, two one's and a one minus, which means we are going to state!!

And look at what we woke to this morning!

Yup, about 4 inches of new (lake effect) snow. Totally unexpected, and totally gone by about 3 o'clock this afternoon. Which kinda put the kibosh on getting the garden ready to go...oh well, maybe later this week. Instead, we went and worked at granny's, cleaning out a closet. Joel and Jeff hit the jackpot, sorta....

New hair....wow..

They came across an entire BOX with inexpensive wigs, hair pieces, ponytails and braids! All courtesy of The Paris Company. Never a dull moment! After working at Grans we went and watched Reilly dance at her competition - she and Shayla won their division!!! They were awesome - shook their hips and did their thing - It was fun to see her and Kelly even if it was only for about an hour.

Well, I've been fighting a cold for the better part of a week so I'm heading for bed. Enjoy your weekend!

Easter

Well...we survived Easter weekend - I even convinced everyone to color eggs!! Tho I think they thought I was kinda lame....one day they'll understand :)

I got my room painted. It looks really nice, if I do say so myself - now to stencil! The stencil pattern arrived on Saturday, it has 4 different overlays. I've never done a stencil with overlays, so it could be interesting. I'll have to try it on some paper first, to get my colors how I want them.

In process of painting my room I broke my little toe  - caught it up in the plastic on the floor - so dumb, but boy, oh boy, the colors my toe is turning are just cool! I also seem to have caught a cold, joy. So I get to head back to school tomorrow sniffling and snorting.

We have orchestra festival this week too, I'm a little nervous about the performance, I guess we'll see how it goes. That's all for today!

I'm gonna give this a try...

Hi all - I think I'm going to try and mess with this blog thing some.
Its been an interesting few weeks - first - I got married on April 1st! I married the best man that has ever lived (no, I'm not biased at all), but just meet him and you'll see.

This week has been a bit strange, we started it out with a bomb scare at school. We spent 3.5 hours locked down in the big gym with 1300 high school students. The kids were all great, annoyed, but great. It was crazy, the bomb squad came and blew the package apart with their water cannon thing and then we were all sent back to class. Education...never a dull moment.

I'm painting my..oops, our, bedroom and I'm doing a new border stencil on it, I'm kind of excited to see how it turns out, I'll post pictures when I get it finished - it will be a week or two I'm sure.

I think everyone will be home for Easter weekend, looking forward to that. Ok...more to come later!
