Thursday

 I messed up this morning and got the time wrong for the orchestra camp.  It started an hour earlier than it had all week.  We were a half an hour late and Oliver was sad.  Then I was sad.  The theme this week was magic and they were supposed to dress up today.  Yesterday we got a wig and a hat for him to be a wizard.  He was nervous that no one else dressed up so he was reluctant to wear the wig.  They had a parents concert and he was better when we got there.  Other kids dressed up so he was wearing his costume.  He practiced everyday day this week so he got a pineapple.  I was proud of him and they sounded really good.  Ruth wanted to go to the park.  So we went after lunch.  It became clear that they only wanted a snow cone so we got one.  Bradley met us there for a while also.  We came home and the kids cleaned their rooms.  Then they played with water in the backyard.  I was having problems with my program and Dad was able to fix it tonight.  Thank you so much Dad.  I am working on making a smiley face.
