School Fun

December is always busy for the girls at school. Megan had an especially fun time, she had what we call the "wax museum". For the last couple of months, the sixth grade has been studying Ancient Greece and to wrap up their studies all the kids get to choose a god or goddess of their choice and dress up and the school comes through their classrooms, or "museum" and they explain about who they are dressed up as. Megan chose Athena.

Later that week she had an orchestra concert. She informed me that we needed to be there early because her teacher had 200 instruments to tune. Okay. If this woman doesn't instantly go to Heaven...I couldn't imagine teaching elementary school orchestra. And she does a fantastic job. They sounded great! And the good news, we had front row seats! WooHoo!

Not to be outdone, Sammy had her 4th grade Christmas play. I think some parents come right after school and camp out, because I've never had a good seat at on of these plays. I LIVE for these plays, I love them so much. So imagine my dismay as Nate and I were sitting there waiting for it to start I had the realization that this was my last one! I realize that we will have concerts and such, but this is the last play like this. Now we are into the big kid stuff. My eyes teared up, I can't believe how fast they have grown up. She did a great job and the play was very cute.

As always, these are the highlight of my December!
