MAY 8, 2012 -- TUESDAY

LOTS OF SINGING TONIGHT!

This afternoon, we celebrated Hyrum's last day of classes at FHS with an early dinner at "Loafin' Joes." It was fun!! We met there after school because Joseph, Benjamin and Bethany had to be at rehearsal at 5pm. Hyrum took Rachel and Mason and took care of them for the evening. Hyrum got Rachel to ice skating this evening as well. I took care of the others. The kids were at Honk Jr. rehearsal from 5-8:30pm. During that time, David and I were buddies and we took at trip to Ozark Natural Foods where I bought some Magnesium Oil and a powder supplement -- due to an article I found on Pinterest!

At 6:30pm, we picked up Benjamin from rehearsal and ran him over to McNair Middle School for his choir concert. The directors and teachers were good to work with him so he could do both the concert and rehearsal this evening.

Benjamin -- in the center

Benjamin did a great job singing in the concert and then we ran back to the musical rehearsal downtown and were gone less than one hour! Amazing! David and I enjoyed watching the rest of the dress rehearsal and I, of course, took tons of pictures! I love capturing faces!!! It was a fun evening for me watching our kids perform.

It is a long proclamation!
