It was bound to happen one day...

With four kids and many activities, I live by what my calendar says.  Unfortunately, I am human and sometimes I make mistakes when I enter events onto the calendar everyday.  Usually I catch my errors before they effect others but today was the day that I didn't.  We have been trying to juggle Valentine's Day, final basketball games, and a winter dance recital all day long.  I really enjoy the winter dance shows at our new school because the classes are divided up into half hour recitals all day long so it really is a short commitment for parents and siblings!  Corynne performed at 11 am this morning with her class.  We cut out immediately after her performance to make it to her last basketball game at noon back on the east side of town.  Short lunch at our break at 1 pm, and then we went back to Lauren's show at 2 pm.  

We walked into an empty auditorium, and the crew was packing up and cleaning up.  I realized I must have written down the wrong time for her class.  My heart sank because she was so excited=(  Daddy walked in behind us as I was telling Lauren the horrible news.  

Dad  helped Lauren get control, and they decided to go tell Mrs. Tonya sorry that I messed up on the time.  Mrs. Tonya said, "Well you are here now. We have a stage and music.  We have an audience of teachers and your family.  Put on your shoes and lets dance!"  


It did take a little playing around to get her in the mood again, but Mrs. Tonya saved the day.  She even topped it will a heart necklace and flowers.  

Wow!  Thank you Mrs. Tonya for saving the day!  Now we are back on the road to the east side of town for our final basketball game!

  1. awww... mrs tonya was great! liv decided that she did NOT want to do the show since she didn't really know the dance (missed too many recent practices). so glad lauren got to do a solo performance - how special!
