Sorry for the delay in posting- we had a very busy weekend last week and we were kind of exhausted because of it. But in a good way. Because we are always good when we are exhausted....
We started our last weekend off with my first choir concert of the year. In fifth grade, we have to take band or choir. Since mom didn't feel like fighting with me about practicing an instrument for a year, I really didn't get a choice so choir it is. Good thing I like it. On Friday, we had our Coffee and Cabaret presentation. There were a few alumni students that came back and performed, the middle school choir performed and then we did. Mom had a video to post but it was too big, so you're stuck with just a photograph. That's me in the back row on the left. You'll have to take my word for it but we sounded pretty good. After that, the parents decided it would be fun to head out for dinner/drinks. So the Healy's, the Reberts and us went out and closed down the restaurant. We finally made it to bed at 11:30. Whew- waaaaay past mom and dad's bed time.
We sort of slept in on Saturday but not really because I never sleep in. We had kind of a lazy Saturday but did make out to do some Halloween decoration shopping- pictures soon to follow (but trust me, it going to be good! It involves skeletons and crawling zombies and fog!!)
Saturday night, we had my softball games. I did pretty darn good because it turns out we were playing a club team and I held my own against them both pitching and hitting. In fall league, we play double headers so it was another night of getting to bed at 11 and not sleeping in much the next day.
Sunday was Episcopal School Sunday and they celebrate mass for all the students that attend Episcopal schools. So off we went to my second choir event of the weekend. We had to sing a song during the 10 AM mass. The whole thing was a little dreary with gloomy organ music and a sad homily but we were a nice bright spot. After that, we came and rested up for our final event of the weekend.
You all remember my friend Ella? The one I'm planning on moving in with because I have so much fun? Well, her mom is the PR director for Cox Communications here in Tucson and they sponsored a table at the fundraising gala for the Tucson Botanical Gardens. For some reason, they invited mom and dad to join them. Nobody really likes mom and dad so they don't get a ton of invitations. It was a very fun night and they met all kinds of interesting people including the director of the zoo! We love our zoo here so that was kind of fun to talk to her about it. Grandpa Vern and Grandma Sue came over to hang with me for the evening and I tried to go to bed early but it's never easy when mom and dad are out. So after yet another late night, it was time to start our week. You can only imagine how it went.
Thankfully, it was a relatively short one because my fall break started this week. I had a half day on Wednesday and was off Thursday and Friday. On Thursday, I had a sleep over at my friend Claire's house for her birthday. I was pretty much exhausted on Friday so I kind of laid low. We did venture out again- this time to Costco for Halloween Candy and a new TV. We get so many trick or treaters in our little 'hood that we needed to buy our candy at Costco. It's going to be epic! We had to buy a new TV because this house is bigger than our last house and mom and dad are getting old and can't see the smaller TV so well, sitting farther away. It is pretty sweet having a huge TV to watch my cartoons on.
Saturday was two more softball games. I didn't do fantastic the first game but then mom made me eat something and wonder of wonders, I had a fantastic second game. 7 up, six down, one walk. Not too shabby.
On Sunday, we took my friend Isabel to Golf-n-Stuff and had a fabulous day playing mini golf, playing laser tag, riding bumper boats and go carts. Super fun day!
