new things

M played in a recital with other studios rather than just her own teacher's studio.  She played Grieg's
"Puck".  In February she'll be doing Student Day for the state music teacher's association.  This involves playing 3 pieces and doing theory tests and sight reading. 

I'm so glad she has an opportunity to perform with other advanced students and be exposed to kids who are weird like her.  Weird awesome.

Pants, Pants, Pants!

M doesn't like pants and hasn't liked pants since she was about 6.  She needs pants because of her band uniform and, um... winter.  We've gotten a few pairs of jegging type coverings... yay this year.  Each time she has a band concert there is a frantic scramble to fit into one of G's old or current pairs of church pants. 

She has a concert coming up and I mentioned that now would be a good time to go to a thrift store and find a pair of black pants.  We made it to the store and a pair that was sufficiently comfortable around the waist was found.  It seemed to bee long and wide in the ankle with possible bleach spatters too.  But I sewed them slimmer and hemmed them 3 inches.  The splatter is minimal speckling and it only cost $1.   And she likes them.  Wow!
