Brass Lips

-
Yesterday was the annual CCISD Imagination Celebration where the school district provides tons of fun free art crafts and musical performances for elementary ages children and their families.  We had a wonderful time exploring art and doing some fun crafts.  We also spent some quality time in the "Musical Instruments Petting Zoo," hosted by the Houston Symphony.  Xavier was enthralled with the violins and played with those nearly the whole time.  Rebekah wasn't overly interested in anything, but noted that she wished they had a piano to play.  Loyd tried his hand at every instrument he saw.  After his failed attempt to play the flute, one of the Symphony volunteers thought he should try the Brass instruments because he, "has the lips for it."  So, over to the trumpets and trombones we went.  Low and behold, that little kid can belt out some great tones on a trombone and a trumpet.  Even the volunteers from the symphony were impressed with his efforts.  I'm excited to think that trombone lessons and band trips are on in Loyd's future.  Yea for brass lips!  :)

It's been a bit of a warm and dry winter, until our latest epic snow storm!!  We didn't get as much snow as high elevations, but I'm happy with 9 inches in 3 days.  Diana is all in when it comes to playing in the snow, the little boys have been busy as beavers digging snow forts, and Maeve has found that digging out snow paths with her friend Lilly is a great way to "chill" during the afternoon.  :D  The big kids have been busy helping Dustin and I keep the street shoveled out.  Dustin wakes up early every morning to use my Dad's snow plow to clear all of the sidewalks on our street  before the kids have to walk to school. The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preference for warm

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
