Our Life Lessons: Piano Recital and Little Chef

We had many adventures the last 2 weeks.

County Fair: The county fair is in April. We look at all the buildings.

The favorites are the old time equipment display, the handicrafts, the photography, the model train, and model airplane video game. The boys made jump ropes from twine.

They would play the airplane game and purposely crash the plane then they would laugh and laugh.

Little Chefs: Hurricane's club made yogurt parfaits and rice krispie treats.

I've taken to making our yogurt in a crock pot at home. It is plain so it is tangy. The children were startled to taste it without the sugar added. We made our rice krispie treats from Fruit Loops and Cocoa Krispies.

Apparently they were delicioso.

Newsies: The 3 Kings brought show tickets for the boys. The last one in the series was Newsies.

Our seats were split by 2s so we split time by having one boy sit with each parent for the Act 1 and then to swapped for Act 2. The dancing was great!

Piano Recital: Underfoot had his first piano recital. He has completed the 3 years of Musicgarten and will begin private lessons.

He is very excited for private lessons. He played Minka, a Russian folk song.

Teacher Request: Hurricane has decided who he would like as his 1st grade teacher. He asked the teacher if he could be in her class. She said he would need to asked the principal. Hurricane undaunted walked up to Mr. Gt and asked if he could be in Mrs. M's class. Mr. G said he would have to see. It kind of threw Mr. G for a loop that a student was requesting.

Rain:

Sweetheart: hurry hurry to the car it's raining in Arizona.

Hurricane: that's because I always pray for rain duh.

Passport: We attempted to renew Hurricane's passport. After 2 court houses, we will need to return and finish the process. Make sure you have time for the process as it takes some time.

Art Institute (AI): An AI for Culinary Arts is located here. We have a friend who is attending and told us about the student bistro. It is a restaurant where students learn how to be waiters and cook on the line in a kitchen. A table can be requested in the kitchen.

Hurricane and I went to lunch in the kitchen with our friend, Nicole. It is loud, busy, and productive. Hurricane was given a paper chef's hat that he is thrilled to own. The Chef doesn't just give his hats away. Hurricane made an impression.

Birthday: Hurricane decided we needed make a cake for Grandpa Kirky's birthday.
