Tonight was the United Elementary Talent Show. Brooke and Rachel did a dance that they choreographed themselves to Josh Turner's "Firecracker". They did a great job putting it together. They wore cowboy hats and western shirts, rolled their jeans up, and even started out their dance with their guitars. It was really cute. There were lots of contestants. They had a good time. I would have never gotten in front of a gym full of people when I was 9! They don't really get nervous. I guess that it helps that they dance and perform at their recitals. There were a lot of kids that were nervous, but not ours! Blake got a little bored with it I guess. He fell asleep on my lap with about 20 minutes to go! It couldn't be that he had been up since before 5 a.m.! He felt better yesterday and got to go back to school. The doctor said it was just a virus that he's been fighting. I hope it's gone. He usually doesn't catch many bugs. I think he's too busy for a germ to catch him! Today was a big day for him, too. He earned his Reading Tshirt for reading 150 books through the school reading incentive program. It's a HUGE deal to those kids to get their tshirts. He was very excited about his new shirt! It sa
ys "Read to be U" on the front and "Red Storm Reader" in silver on the back. We are soooo tired of this cold weather and rain! Yuck! We are going to have to mow before too long. In fact, by the time it warms up and dries out enough to mow, we may have to get the baler out! Jeff is really ansy to get to the field. I asked him what all of this rain meant. We looked at the 14 day forecast and it shows more rain once it warms up midweek. He made the comment that he HAS to get into the field soon. If he hasn't been in by May 1, it's going to be BAD. I don't think I want to know what "BAD" means.
We don't have too busy of a weekend. Brooke and I have a wedding shower to go to today so Blake is going to help Jeff do something. She wants to have a couple friends over tonight so we'll see if I can get my patience built up for that. Thought about going to see "Nim's Island" in the theater but not sure if we will or not. Hopefully it will be pretty quiet around here! (not if I have 3 9 year old girls here though!)

I can't believe that Brooke and Rachel did that -- I would have never done that either as a kid or a grown-up! Congrats to Blake on getting his shirt! I'm glad that they kept that program I remember it from when I used to teach at Alexis. I also remember how hard it is to get to 150 books! Have a great weekend!
