Guest Blogger: Boy Scout Choir by the Dog Walker

I wanted to write a quick guest blog post for Mom, telling something very exciting about what just happened today. Remember from last week, talking about the audition? Well, Mom just got an email from the manager from that audition and was saying that I've done a very good job for not messing up and being neat while doing my part of speaking. But I didn't make it to speaking, instead I got back to joining the Boy Scouts Choir. Mom and I were amazed to hear that I got the chance that I get to be in the choir, even though I wouldn't be able to speak at the conference center with the Boy Scouts program. Speaking about that, the Boy Scouts Choir will take place at the Conference Center in Salt Lake City, along with this organ pipe stand in that picture. I hope that some of you may have the opportunity to be watching me be in it.

All Day Long

Isn't Bossy talented?!

I pretty much hung out at the middle school all day long today. It all started with a PTSA Board Meeting at 9:00 that lasted until 10:30. I was a little sad about that because Baby Doll and Curly missed their dance class. We got there with about 10 minutes left, but their awesome teacher let them dance with the next class so they didn't really miss anything.

As soon as class was over we drove back to the house. I dropped the kids and Bossy was waiting for me so we could go back to the middle school. I had to set up a display case for the Reflections program. Yeah, I've gotten myself involved again...

We do PTC in the school gym. Tons of parents and long lines.

That took us two hours! We got home after 2:00, and I had a break until 4:00 when Crafty and I headed back to the school for Parent Teacher Conferences. After another couple of hours waiting in line to meet her teachers, I was pleased to know that she has100% in almost every class! So proud of that girl.

She sure is having a great week!

Only in Utah

The Gym Rat called me on his way to work today. He had been talking with a friend and he really wanted me to look at something on Facebook. I think I've told you before that I have a Facebook page but I rarely get on it. The blog is about all I can handle and sometimes not even that!

So after I hung up my cell phone, I punched in the Facebook login page. Yeah, that's how often I get on...

Then I entered the words Only In Utah.


Imagine my surprise when the back of my very own van showed up as their banner!

Go leave them a comment and tell them you know who owns that van!

One More Birthday Party

We had the easiest friend party in the world for Crafty today. Remember way back when we went to the fundraiser for the Emerys? Well, I bought a birthday party at Menchie's from the silent auction. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it, but I wanted to be supportive. So when Crafty's birthday came around, it seemed like the ideal time to cash the certificate in.

They gave us invitations and Crafty passed them out. That was the hardest part. We all showed up today at Menchie's at 4:00. Crafty had 14 friends there. First they colored t-shirts, and then they had ice cream. They pretty much got to choose anything they wanted. The cute lady who was in charge stuck a candle in the top of Crafty's ice cream and lit it. All the girls sang and then she blew out the candle.

They opened gifts and took pics and then they all played pictionary until their parents got there. Fun for Crafty and SOOO easy for me.

My favorite kind of party.
