today, big sister had the longest day. she was up and at school by 6:15am. she travelled with the honor & symphonic bands to a competition at an area high school, where they ended up earning 1st division (superior), 1st place in class, & best band of the day. then they drove to six flags where she had lunch and spent the afternoon at the amusement park. lastly, she had to be back at school in time for two more performances of crushed, at 5:00 and 6:15pm.("thanks, mom, for driving the hour to and hour back to make sure i was at the play on time"....)
while big sister was away, we were not just resting at home. in the morning, daddy and i signed her up for freshman marching band, and wrote checks for all the $$$ that goes along with that....with the 10am soccer game cancelled due to wet fields, little sister waited around for her two afternoon volleyball games, at 2pm and 3pm. they won both games, and little sister played pretty well from what i was told (i had to miss both since i was driving to & from the amusement park...)
we ended our "cinco de mayo" with a taco dinner, that i did not have to make, outside on the patio. yum!
