On the countdown...

We are on the countdown. Countdown until Spring break and Countdown for baby Colleen to arrive. It is also the time of the year to see how much we can cram into a week! This week we had our normal very busy Monday and Tuesday with tennis, piano, and dance lessons. Wednesday Tyler went on a band field trip to hear the symphony at ASU. I was an alternate driver, and I was very glad they did not need me!

Thursday morning was Corynne's field trip to WSFA. It was cool to see the behind the scenes workings of a TV station.

Thursday night was tennis for Tyler. A friend dropped him off at Vaughn Forest just in time for the girls' school talent show. This was the first year that they have participated in the talent show, but it will definitely be a habit for years to come. Corynne and Lauren each performed a piece on the piano, and they did an EXCELLENT job. Up until auditions a few weeks ago, Corynne was a ball of nerves and emotions about the talent show. At auditions, she saw that everyone is not perfect and it was okay. The talent show was a wonderful, "Little House on the Praire" show with a touch of electric guitar at the end. So cute!

Friday morning was Lauren's field trip to Let's Pretend Hospital. This is a week long event put on by the nursing school (I think) here in Montgomery. After Corynne went 3 years ago, JM has been helping with the program each year. This year was Lauren's turn to go, but Dr. Vermillion was just Dad on this trip!!! JM met the field trip at the Let's Pretend Hospital. Lauren was actually chosen to be the mom for the class. Corynne was the mom her year, but it was a prejudice pick by the nurses in charge at the hospital!!! I was curious as to how that happened since she had told me they were "drawing sticks" at school. Here is the detailed account of how the draw went. "Mom, first Mrs. Harvill drew Ruth's name to be the mom, and she said she did not want too. (Ok. I am not surprised because Ruth is shy.) Next she drew Katie's name, and she did not want to do it either. Then, she drew my name. I said YES! (Complete with arm motion of victory!)"
