February Fun

February has been very busy for a certain teenager at our house. Morgan's days have been filled with rehearsal for the junior high play every day after school (except Wed. when she has Youth Group at church). Monday morning she has Honor's Band practice at 7:30, Wednesday morning there is Speech practice at 8:00 and Thursday mornings she has Jazz Band at 7:30. (This week we get to add 7 a.m. play practice on Thursday....yippee.) Evenings are filled with homework and trumpet practice. Last week there were auditions for the "Razzle Dazzle Revue" 2 nights. This week we are adding a birthday, "cat sitting" for a friend of mine, a Choir Concert, and a Speech Meet.

It isn't all work. She went on a fun ski trip to Red Lodge, Montana during Valentine's weekend and got to miss a couple days of school!

Tonight Morgan came home with a silver medal!

She placed 2nd in her category at the Speech Meet.

Sheila, Wes, Kay & Emily came for treats after the concert last night to help Morgan celebrate her birthday.

Happy 14th Birthday!!

All choirs from grades 6 - 12 were a part of the concert. It will be nice when the school remodeling is finished so they do not have to perform in the gymnasium....the sound was not the best in there. What we could hear sounded pretty good.

Okay, I forgot to rotate this photo before I uploaded it....it is too late & I am too tired to fix it tonight. You will just have to turn your head to look at it!! Morgan got rollerblades for her birthday. She and Em are trying them out in Sheila's kitchen. When asked if they were making marks on the floor the reply was a meek "not big ones". Thanks Auntie for being such a good sport!! (Emily had received the same rollerblades for Christmas.)

Saturday night I threw together a cake at the last minute and we went to the Borowski's house for some tacos, games & birthday gifts. (Paul couldn't be here for Morgan's birthday and we wanted him to be able to celebrate with us. What was he thinking making our tax appointment on Morgan's birthday?!?)

Paul had originally planned to go on the ski trip with Morgan, Wes & Emily. Unfortunately he had to haul his sunflowers during that week. He had these beautiful flowers delivered to my office on Friday since I was going to be alone for Valentine's Day. Of course all of the other ladies at work were quite envious. In an effort to get the most enjoyment out of my arrangement as possible, I moved them from room to room on Valentine's Day as I did laundry, ironing and cleaned the house. I know....I am weird.

Brittany plays basketball in Dickinson tomorrow night. Paul called me to see if I wanted to go. Of course I wanted to go, but I cannot be gone from work for 2 days this week. He is up at the farm. I am guesing that he will make the trip West if he can work it out. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the game will be broadcast on the internet . Good Luck, VCSU!!
