1. Alice was invited to participate in the Kennedy Honors Orchestra held at Kennedy High School in Cedar Rapids. We left home at 7:15 a.m. and got home that evening at 8:30. LONG DAY, but the Alice had a lot of fun, and the end result was great music. She was placed as 2nd chair in the viola auditions--pretty good for a 6th grader (6-9 grades were involved)!
2. Then came the Trivia Contest on Homework Hotline. We knew we were in trouble in this second round when the other team, in their introductions, thanked a teacher who had helped them prepare. That wasn't Alice's and Lauren's experience. Our school had forgotten all about it until that very afternoon. As I drove Alice over to the location, I was trying to quick-imput some typical trivia, "who won the Super Bowl?", "who is the Sec. of State?" (And that question was actually asked). The final score wasn't pretty.
3. The ward talent show. We had a great time figuring out our costumes and making our wigs. We even talked Brian Sims into wearing the wig we'd made for him. He got the most laughs because it just isn't expected that a high councilman/pediatrician will stoop to such gimmicks. Costumes were great. The music was less than perfect, but our act was still enjoyed a great deal.
Have a nice St. Patrick's Day!
