Saxophone Boy!

Daniel really has wanted to play saxophone for a few years. Mr. Anderson, the band director, told Daniel that his requirement is for a student to play the clarinet for one year prior to playing the saxophone. Last year, Daniel played the clarinet and enjoyed it. He was so excited at the beginning of 4th grade because this was the year.

The band was smaller this year. Daniel was the only saxophone in the band. He did a beautiful job at the concert and even had a solo. We are going to be on the lookout for a saxophone this summer. Maybe someone will be trying to sell one at a garage sale. We might just get lucky.

Look What I Found!

Look what I found! Over at HOP they are having a National Scrapbooking Month celebration. We are having challenges every day. The challenge yesterday was to make a layout about toys. I can be about any kind of toy. My friend Dawn was talking all about her Crissy doll. I remembered that Kathy had a Crissy doll, BUT I had a Velvet doll. I remembered where I had them stored in the back closet and had Daniel pop a quick photo of me with Velvet AND a Dawn doll. Velvet is not in that great of shape. She has some greenish/blue on her face that I cannot get off. Not sure what it is, but I might do a little research to see if it can be removed.

Make a Girl Happy

Sarah is not generally thrilled about going to the Little League field to watch her brother play. She is, however, loving the sunflower seeds. A bag of them can keep her occupied for well over an hour! Sometimes she will even go buy a second bag! Definitely $1.00 well spent. Sarah's biggest problem with the seeds is the fact that her tongue usually gets all funny on the end from all the salt.
