Dinner Theatre
So glad when Dinner Theatre was over! I took on selling tickets for the Saturday Matinee and Saturday Night show. BIG undertaking. About 350 at each of those shows. The Friday night show was sold out and had 380 people. It was an exahausting month, but the 4 shows went well.
Field Trip
Anna's class went to teh local Sports Center for about 5 hours. LONG TIME. They had a blast, though. Anna enjoyed Rock Wall climbing for the first time.
Mother's Day Makeover
Anna's school had Mother's Day Makeover. It was my big chance to be pampered by her. She did my hair, make-up, toes, nails, and I got a massage, a corsage, and they sang a couple songs. It was fun and cute. Some of the moms came out of there looking like something out of the AVATAR movie, but I knew it was all about what I put into the cosmetic bag.I was very cautious.
WOW Bowling
The WOW program (Wednesday Night choir program) wrapped up its year with another Bowling party. Always a blast for the kids.
Brandon turns 12
It was such a busy weekend with Indianapolis and the piano recital AND Brandon's 12th birthday. We surprised Brandon with a drum set. He had been dying for one forever and a friend had one for sale. He is pretty darn good already. Barry and Logan fixed up a small 6x9 store room and sound proofed it a bit and we set the drums up in there. Brandon was VERY surprised and thrilled with the drums.
Piano recital
Brandon and Anna had their piano recital...and Justin, too. They all did a great job on their songs. VERY PROUD OF THEM. Their teacher, Miss Nancy, is fabulous and loves the kids!

NATIONALS!!!!
CLICK TO MAKE COLLAGES LARGER
Because the Show Choir placed in the top 3 in Hollywood (We won!), we were invited to Indianapolis for the first ever National Competition...to name the absolute best show choir in the nation. What a great day watching the groups! It was a neat competition! We did not get grand champs, but we did get First Runner Up, Best Vocals, Best Diction, Best female Performer, Best girls sound! It was awesome. We also get $5000 toward another FAME competition next year!
Brandon celebrated his 12th birthday in INDY. We went to the restaurant of his choice...The Old Spaghetti Factory. We went there Friday night since the comp was Saturday. We did find time to eat at Weber grill and I also got some ice cream from the hotel restaurant later and we sang to Brandon.

Indiana Zoo
We headed to INDY for Show Choir Nationals, so we kept the kids out of school and took Anna and Brnadon to the Zoo for the day. It was a beautiful day after soooo many days of rain. The kids got to feed giraffes and we went to a great dolphin show. We also visited the Botanical Gardens next to the zoo and saw beautiful tulips and orchids.
