Lauryn with Ms. Ahola her school teacher
I love this picture of her little legs hanging there
The recital was last night and the girls did great! They had their songs completely memorized! Way to go girls!!!
Our house was a bit chaotic while we were getting ready. We had to leave by around 6:15 which meant we had to eat and get cleaned up before that. Lauryn had a mishap while getting to the bus which involved falling down, skinning her knee and missing the bus. I had to go to the school to pick her up and didn't get back home until 4:30. I put off making brownies until that time so I called Mike as he was leaving work and had him pick cookies up at the commissary instead. (whew.. problem solved)
Next, the girls (Maddi and Brilee) decide to get into an argument. It was over the fact that Brilee got into Maddi's room and tried to use her body glitter gloss without asking. (oh the drama that goes on here) It didn't end there, Maddi then called her the word that's NOT to be used in our home. IDIOT! Brilee refused to leave the room until she was apologized to and Maddi decided to put the sparkly gloss on Brilee's face (to be nice)but, it was not a nice gesture. She smacked it on, all over her eye. While this is going down, I'm upstairs doing Lauryn's hair and hear the neighbor outside yell that their dog is chasing Lola. Ok, we didn't know Lola was outside. She'd been out there for about 30 minutes and came in all perky with poop all over her back,head and face. She'd obviously found something yummy to rub in. So, the fight has come upstairs as Brilee is crying with goo in her eye and I'm gagging (seriously about ready to heave) as I'm spraying Lola off in the shower. Put yourself in the situation...warm water heating up the smell. Ok, I'll stop there! It was HORRIBLE, I tell ya! The girls all ran in to see what was making me gag so loud. They thought it was pretty funny.
Things smoothed out, the girls made up, Lola was clean, hair was fixed and we were ready to dash out the door.
The recital was great -they're already asking for their next trio to play. I think they'll be given something new to start this week. The only bad thing about the recital is that I left the camera on accidentally after I made sure it was cued up to the right spot. The battery was dead when I went to tape them. :-(

Traci it sounds like you had quite the day!! Yikes!! At least it ended well with a great recital right?!
I have to tell you I am so glad you have a blog it is so great being able to keep in touch with you and yours!
That was hilarious! I can totally picture it all...and I almost smell it. Glad everything turned out well in the end!
Wow, that is quiet the story, I am glad to hear you survived. It seems it's always a little laughter that ends the fights and quaos!
This is a good post for me to make my debut on your comments. What a day. Glad you could write about it with humor! When the dog came in, that would have done me in! Glad they had a wonderful concert. They are great children!
I am so sad your battery was dead! Good thing you got great pictures! Love the one of the trio!
Girls, great job!! You are so awesome. I am sure you played your piano pieces just perfectly. LOLA, YUK... I am glad that she never did that when I took care of her. She minded her manners when she came here. Thank heavens.
