My night off!



So last night, I requested the night off!  Josh gave me a Tai Pan Trading Company gift card for Mother's Day, and I have been dying to use it!  So I left Kaley and Thomas with Josh, and I took Bella with me!  I went to Tai Pan, and spent most of my gift card!  I bought summer decorations for on top of my cupboards - pictures will follow as soon as I am finished!  Then I went to Brighton High School for Clarissa's final choir concert.   It was a wonderful time! Grandpa kept Bella with him most of the time, (which I'm sure he didn't mind!).  They have this fun little tradition that the last two songs of the concert they invite the alumni present to come up and sing with them!  I went up and stood by Lyss and sang!  It was fun!  I couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic at the whole experience!  I even saw a few fellow Madrigals there!  Lesley, Val and Robbie were also there supporting their younger siblings!  It was fun to see them and catch up for just a bit.  All four of us have little babies right now, (Val's wasn't there).  It is fun to see my friends in their new "grown up" lives!  Thanks Lyss, for a fun night!  You did awesome!  I am excited to come to more of your performances in years to come!   You did your sister proud!

THANK YOU !!!! Granadpa looks sooo good with Bella Rose on his lap. I found myself sing that song; "Where are you going my little one .. turn around & your tiny, turn around and your grown, turn around & you're a young wife with babes of your own." It will be such a short time & it will be Bella singing at a Choir Concert !!!!!

That's so fun you got to go back and sing. We were thinking about coming this year, but we don't have any siblings and the timing didn't work. Next year my brother and brian's brother will both be in choir, so we're definitely going. :)
