A week in the life...Mellow, band concert, birthday, and Twilight.

Today was Anthony's band performance. They did great and I was very impressed at the size of the band. The first ones to perform were the six graders and there were about 120 students. They sounded amazing. It really took me back to my years in the band. I remember being on stage and looking out into the audience looking for my mom. After their first song, I caught him looking at me and smile as he saw us clap. It was very touching as I remembered the feelings I had as a young girl, excited to show my mom our performance. The first picture is of the percussion quintet. They were fun to listen to.

This picture is of all the six graders. The frame did not capture the whole band.
After the performance I made him stop for a picture. He was somewhat embarrassed and didn't want to include any other family members. Quick snapshot was the name of the game. LOL
This picture I took Sunday after church. He was practicing and needed someone to hold his music. Natalia did the job. I should buy him a stand...ya think?
Last Saturday was my birthday and I had an amazing time. Danilo worked the night before so in the morning I woke up to him coming to kiss me with my gifts in tow. We dropped off the kids at Cindy's and he took me to a restaurant I had never gone. It's in little harbor, on their private beach. It was the best. We had planned to have lunch and then head to Busch Gardens, but we were having such a great time just us that we decided to take a stroll down the beach. We ended up walking up the pier and sitting on the edge. We were pretty much by ourselves. It was awesome. We were really enjoying the peace and tranquility the beautiful day had to offer so we decided to go buy Twilight (which we had already reserved), and head home to watch it. We later picked up the kids and went to eat dinner at SinIgual. It was pretty good. I really wanted to eat Mexican food their carne asada with grilled shrimp really hit the spot.

This picture is of me and kids before heading out to SinIgual.
This was improvised. Anthony is such a sweet son.
On Friday, I wore my Twilight shirt to work. For those that don't know I work at an Elementary school. One or two people commented on my shirt until I went to the cafeteria while the 5th graders were having lunch. It was pretty shocking to have kids want to worship my shirt. I felt like somewhat a celebrity and wanted to just hide. Very odd experience. Now I have some of them calling me Mrs. Twilight. I tried to nip that in the bud today. We'll see.
Last week we had the pleasure of pet sitting Mellow. Mellow is the Garcia's dog. She is the sweetest and best chihuahua I know and we were counting down her arrival for about a week. Needless to say she was very spoiled while at our house. Here are some pictures of her with the crown. Yes, she is the queen.
