Hey

All you silly people that got me hooked on blogging are not out there. Sheesh. So I will blog anyway as I sit here waiting to hear from my oldest daughter as she is away in Kennewick Wahington at a band competition. All I know is they made finals!! WOO HOO. It has been a long time since they have done if they have done it ever. It is 11:30 here and 10:30 there and I still don't know a thing. I am going nuts.

We got a little worried about the homecoming thing. Amber was asked by another boy Thursday evening and she became concerned because she knew something was up with the you know who boy. She was so confused Thursday night. She told the new asking boy she wasn't sure because she knew something was up with you know who. SO Friday morning the new asking boy(who is very manly really, one of those with some crazy facial hair in high school but he shaves most of the time) so anyway he tells her he asked someone else so she doesn't have to decide-or some such thing. Rumor was flying you know who had something planned maybe on the bus. Didn't happen then I heard rumor it was giong to happen in their motel room while they were at the mall. Didn't happen. We hear he chickened out. She is a little concerned and so am I that he isn't going to do it. Her 3 best buddies all have dates. She was asked by someone else-that opportunity left and now what? He has had some courage issues here lately. We are surprised he is even asking her right now anyway. He wouldn't speak to her all summer and has been a stinker to her for awhile. But at after 10 last night I get a call saying he did it. He sprayed silly string all over the room and there was a note with a belt with music notes on it for her-she loved that- and a harmonica. Not sure about what the harmonica means. So he came through. And I still don't know what happened at the big competition even after writing all that.

PHONE CALL Now I have the word. They got best winds and brass. They took 3rd in their division. But they don't know how many bands were in their division. They took 11th overall. It has been at least 7 years since they have made the finals in this competition. There are bands from all over the northwest there. And I guess this has never happened to the band director that they have done this well before. She will be home, oh maybe sometime around 5:30 am.

Speaking of early. The little girls choir teacher thought it would be exciting(not) to have a really early morning performance today. So at 6:30 am Kylee and Autumn left to sing at a hotel. They were home before 8 am. Thankfully a mom wanted to drive them down there so we didn't have to. But it was still stupid for something that short. If we were not part of that irritating car pool I told you about we would not have done it. Then to make things more interesting. This is a little of my own fault for procrastinating. My three oldest were suppose to make a quilt for a YW conference coming up in two weeks. We have known about it a long time and we got our quilt stuff over the summer. They are suppose to be done before next Saturday I think. Our quilt came from the humanitarian center. I have never made one of their quilts before. Amber sewed on it a little before her trip. Kylee sewed some today and Kelsea ironed. Then I sewed a bunch so we could get it to the quilt tying thing tonight. Ours wasn't done and I got stuck on the back. Two pieces of fabric that didn't fit the back. We had problems and thankfully there was someone at the church that could help us out. Kelsea did the rest of the sewing that needed to be done at the church. It didn't get tied but it is together. It will get tied on Weds. But we still need to finish a few things on it. So that is how I spent conference Saturday.
Kelsea and I have been pretty listless, tired and ill for most of our 4 day weekend. I am quite grumbly. Oh well. Would somebody please post something new to read out there!
