We've had a couple of very busy weeks.
Chloe has performed in two local band competitions. (Those performances took up the better part of 2 weekends, but they are so much fun. At least as a parent.) They placed at both events and at the second one they won Best Music Overall! Yeah. They are still working on finishing their show and adding visuals and music. We're more than half-way through the football season and they are still working on the show. I should not be surprised by this, I have been through this before, but it still catches me off gaurd.
The band will leave Wednesday evening (10/22) for their NYC trip and Chloe is VERY excited. She isn't physically packed, but I think she has the mental list of her suitcase contents and could be ready to go in very little time. I'm very excited for her and I hope they have a fabulous trip and perform well at the competition.
EJ has completed 2 out of 4 nomination applications. The essays seem to be the only thing he needs to produce to complete the remaining two. The other documents that need to be included are all pretty much the same so when you request for one, you request enough copies for all. He has really taken ownership of this process and I am very proud of him.
Kate has completed one night class and is anticipating a much easier load for the remainder of the semester. I hope she is not disappointed. She is still loving her field experience in the class room. Today she went on her first field trip as a chaperone. Even though she is officially on fall break she worked at the library yesterday, went to the elementary school today and will babysit over night for her summer nanny family this weekend. Busy girl.
Tonight is Homecoming and it is raining. We have not had rain in so long! I feel sorry for the girls that picked out their pretty dresses that now have to figure out how to not freeze or get soaked and still look dressed up. The band will perform after the game because of the Homecoming events. Looks to be a late night.
