Midweek Randoms

There has been a lot, and I mean a lot of trumpet playing at our house lately.  Actually, Payton is playing the cornet.  It has the same sound. =)  This is our house every night.  It's so much better than TV. (So, I realized after I published this post, that this picture is in another post.  I like it so much, it can be in 2.)

Payton finished up her first work in Art Lessons.  She painted an Elsa painting for Addi for Christmas.  Her teacher told me that she has natural skills.  She said it more than once and seemed really impressed with her.  I love that Payton has a creative outlet.

Tuesday night is dance night and my girls are all loving it.  It makes me so happy to watch Addi tap dance.  She is even more focused this year than last. (BTW, we've had no tears before school this week.  She's a little grumpy after, but mornings are so much easier.)

I don't think Karsyn could love dance class any more.  She smiles the entire time.  I think dance is just her thing.  She seems to be picking it up so quickly.  Here's a picture I borrowed from a friend on Facebook.  Can you spot my smiling little lady? (Payton loves her classes too!  It's a little harder to sneak a picture of her classes, but I will try to soon.)

Evan got his name on the marquee at school this week and was so excited!  I'm so proud of my student of the month!

Evan had his first chair test in band last Friday and got 7th chair out of 15.  He had another chair test today and got 2nd chair.  Yay!  Third Chair can challenge him next Monday, so he's practicing even harder than before.  Here's a little bit from tonight.  Ummm....you might keep in mind that he's only been playing for 2 weeks. =)

 

It's been a busy week and we are really looking forward to an extra long weekend.  Hope your week is going well too!
