This isn't exactly turning out to be daily yet. Last night we had some friends over for dinner. Once I figure out downloading pictures, I'll add them! (Even Jon couldn't quite get it to work, so that made me feel a little better). After dinner, Jonathan, Caroline and I fiddled. Unfortunately, Oliver insisted on being a part of the action, but he can only play a couple notes in random order with even more random rhythms. He can play LOUD, however. We convinced him to go in the music room and play with the door closed so we wouldn't disturb him, but this only lasted a little while. I thought we were pretty good fiddlers, as did my friend Kevin. Jon said it was more annoying than anything else because he was trying to talk and it was too loud.
With all this great weather we are having this week, I'd rather be camping! After lunch we (the kids excluding Vivian) went outside and jumped on the trampoline. It rather shocked the kids to see Big Mama, as they call me, jump. I let them know that once upon a time I was quite capable on the trampoline and could do front flips, back flips and other things. Should all of them not exist, I would probably still be able to do those things, so watch it! It is either really good excercise, or I'm seriously out of shape, but I was quite worn out after 15 minutes.
Violin and Viola lessons were canceled for today. The teacher is sick. All the kids were bummed. Jonathan wanted to switch over to his new violin and also work on the fiddle tunes. Charles has finally gotten his latest piece down and was eager to start the next song, and Oliver, who considers himself to be a virtuoso, just loves his lessons.
Back to the school room....
