Small Ensemble Contest - Philomena Percussion Group

Maggie and I went to watch Philomena's percussion group play at the small ensemble contest.  They scored a 2.  It was great to listen to; we both enjoyed it!  After we went to Texas Roadhouse to celebrate even though Philomena didn't feel it went the best.  I reminded her that judges don't just look for mistakes but for how you handle your mistakes and keep going.  I didn't notice any mistakes so I told her they each covered well and that no one is perfect.  We really are our own worst critics.

 

Funnel Cakes

I came home from a teacher training to find that Maggie was making a funnel cake all by herself. I looked at the pan and asked Maggie what in the world she was doing.  She had dumped the entire bowl of batter in the pan all at once.  The next day we had off from school due to the cold weather.  I then made funnel cakes correctly and she watched me.  She said it tasted great the way I made them!

 

Villian's Puzzle

 

Happy Valentine's Day!

For Valentine's Day, I gave Maggie a Villian's puzzle and Philomena urn necklaces for the 2 guinea pigs that have passed away.  Then I made our heart pizza at home like I do every year.

 

Show Choir Tech

Philomena enjoys doing show choir tech.  This is her second year doing this.  It's a great way for her to be involved but not up front where she gets nervous.  Mr. McCauley says that she is a huge asset to their show choir and she's the lead tech person that he counts on this year.

 

Air Fryer

The good part of grocery orders is that you don't make impulsive purchases.  I went to the store and came out with this air fryer that was on clearance.  Maggie is big fan of homemade french fries made by cutting up a potato and only making enough for yourself!  I'm glad that I found it that day in the store!
