Then it was time for the concert. Today's theme was space. We heard pieces from the Jupiter Symphony, the Planets, and the kids' favorite, Star Wars. During the two pieces from the Planets, they showed photos provided by NASA of Mars and Jupiter, which was fun for adults and kids.
Although the kids were a little fidgety by the end, I am so grateful that they are respectful of the musicians and the audience members and can sit relatively still and quiet. A child behind us was having a terrible time today, and his poor mom tried everything she could to get him to be still and quiet so at least his sisters could enjoy the program. But, he wasn't having it, and they ended up leaving early. So, yay for RJ and Ryleigh having a good day and saving their grumpiness and meltdown (Ryleigh) for the ride home.
The rest of our week was quite routine. We did our usual BrickHeadZ. And, once the snow melted and the rain went away, it was warm enough for the kids to go outside at school and after school.
This week should be a relatively normal one. Jip has duty twice this week, but then it is over with for the month. RJ and Ryleigh's school is having a Valentine's Dance on Saturday. The parents had to buy tickets, but the kids are free. They are having a silent auction of themed baskets put together by each classroom. There are two I'm interested in, but I have no idea what to expect for the bidding. I'll let you know how we make out next Sunday.
Until next time, cheers!
