Last night we went to the high school spring concert, what a wonderful show! We got to hear the state-worthy Solo & Ensemble performances from 2 percussionists, 3 singing solos and a duet. Angel #4 absolutely hates performing, so she skipped out of the concert and didn't perform her song. But, the other kids did an incredible job.
After the high school band performed, a select group of kids from the choir sang a song that WE's girlfriend wrote. She's composed the music about a year ago and then the lyrics came to her after her dad was killed in a car accident in July. She accompanied the kids on the piano and it was gorgeous. I don't think there was a dry eye in the house and they finished up to a rousing standing ovation. I get teary-eyed again just thinking about it. I'm so proud of our school and the kids who go there.
When I'm doing lunch numbers in the line during the day, sometimes I horse around with the kids, other times I just stand there quietly and listen to what they have to say to each other. The other day I missed the beginning of the conversation, but this is what I heard: "I found the spell on the internet. You're supposed to say it 5 times in a row at midnight. I think it's working because my teeth are starting to feel sharper" I think Jillian is attempting to become a vampire. I hope she doesn't get a doctors diagnoses of her condition, because then by law I'd have to work up a lunch menu to fit her special dietary habits and I don't know if I can find blood in our food suppliers catalog.
