Today was a really busy day!  To start off, Kirstyn had her Solo and Ensemble Festival.  She performed both an instrumental number with her clarinet (which Angela accompanied her on) and a voice piece with a group of her friends from chorus.  They did well.  Kirstyn thinks that she did MUCH better on her clarinet solo than she did on her voice performance.  We’ll see what kind of score each got.  Great work Kirstyn!  We love listening to your music!

While Angela was off with Kirstyn, I took Ben and dropped him off at a  birthday party for his little friend that was born the day before him.  He was so excited to go and couldn’t wait to get there.  Zach was pretty bummed because they invited him to go to but he had his basketball game.

We then ran Zach up to his game.  They played really hard and ended up in a tie.  The strange thing is that they played Indiana (the same team name and jersey color as them).  The Wheatland folks goofed when making the team assignments.  🙂

After the game we came home and did some much-needed house cleaning.  🙂  We then worked on Ben’s cake for his birthday party tomorrow!  It was quite the chore, but it turned out really good.  He wanted a train with multiple cars, etc.  Below are a couple pictures…

In the meantime (while we acting as master cake architects), Sarah had a date!!!  🙂  The 4 of them went to the dollar store, picked out presents for each other, then came back to our house, had laughs at what they bought, ate ice cream Sundays, and had a fun time just talking and hanging out!
