The past three days were a marathon on school work. We had so much catching up to do after 1) Kyle & Carly’s visit, 2) Diane and Jose’s visit and 3) the two weeks the kids spent at the Portuguese school they will be attending next year. All justifiable reasons to play hooky, but it meant trying to get 4 weeks worth of school work done in a week and a half. But somehow we did it.
Nuno had a project on getting to know ‘the orchestra’. It was a cute unit, but one that I really needed us to plow through if we were going to get any vacation. One section involved his being a conductor. Poor kid, he had me and his sister to pick from since his dad had to video the piece. Well, homemade maracas, a homemade trumpet and a keyboard were what we had to pick from. Oh yes, and a mother who can not really sing, but likes to play the part. Lana is still laughing at my first attempt, that one I will not post.
Even though I may regret putting this video out there, it was nice to have some fun amidst the madness of that ‘learning’ marathon.
Love the video! Especially Sophia’s giggles at the beginning. Miss you all. xxx
Hearing her laugh that day is what saved my sanity.
