Music Class

As a homeschooling family, it's awfully nice to "farm out" a subject! Hayden has been taking guitar lessons since April and is doing great. So I've decided to take my art and mix in his art to make a little review game. He is super close to having these guitar chords memorized which means the next step would be sliding from one chord to the next...and I believe it doesn't take a guitarist to know what that equals. While he is able to play verses from songs, this will allow him to play along to "the whole song"!! We're super proud of him!

So now I ask you...can you name these chords?

And no they are not in ABC order!!

Chicken

So I have this idea...but feel rather chicken to actually follow through. 

I should be taking my niece's approach and just go for it-here is how her story goes:

We had just arrived at the county fair and everyone was debating on what their first ride should be. She walks up to this ride (similar to Free Fall at Great Adventure) takes a seat as it's only passenger, never once asking any one's opinion as to whether she should or shouldn't. And for a kicker, she smiles on the entire ride to the top. The ride ends and she walks away wondering which ride to attack next. Meanwhile everyone else is biting their nails.

Stay tuned-I very well may "unchicken" myself soon!

I wore a sweatshirt and jeans tonight...and then realized it's been over a month since I updated this blog!

Today I was reminded once again of the "circle of life" and how precious it really is. While last week I lost my Godmother to Leukemia, today I was able to visit my friend Moe at the hospital to welcome her sweet little girl into the world.

So as a friendly little reminder to myself and the rest of you-cherish these moments!
