Play me a song

Tim started taking piano lessons in March. Josh has been studying piano for the last three years, and like everything else, Tim couldn't wait until he could play too. He had his first recital on Sunday June 1st. His recital piece was "Lost my Partner" We asked him later if he was nervous and he said "Piece of cake...it was a piece of cake"

Okay, Kelly, I'm going to try and upload that video now....keep your fingers crossed.

Excuse the video quality, it was a camera phone.

okay...i'm pretty sure that is not what you told me to do Kelly....but there it is on youtube..

Mom, is our house going to blow apart?

Holy cow, how do you answer a question like that? Tim is deathly afraid of storms. He freaks out at the first sign of a storm cloud. When he was younger he would run for cover if the wind picked up over 5mph. We spent most of one spring in the house watching the wind blow.

Yesterday was the kindergarten assembly. Finished at 2:00pm. We were allowed to take our children home after the assembly. I normally would just let him come home as normal, because after all, I still had another 30 minutes of quiet time. Yesterday I decided to sign Tim out and we came home early (along with his little buddy Wyatt whose Mom was doing PTO stuff at school) Good thing, because 30 minutes later we were in the dark, in our basement under a tornado warning having the following conversation:

Tim: "Can't you tell how scared I am...can you hear how my voice sounds...I'm really scared. Isn't it sad that I'm almost 7 and I'm so afraid of storms."

Me: "It is okay to be afraid". (cause I'm pretty afraid myself right now and I'm almost 40!)

Tim: "Mom, is our house going to blow apart"

Me: "No, I'm pretty sure it won't blow apart" (I hope cause this place is put together with spit and a prayer)

Tim: "Can you promise me 100% that it won't?"

Me: "Ummm....well, no I can't." (do I lie?? I couldn't promise him 100%)

Tim "what will we do if it does"

Me: "We will build a new house"

Tim: "But were will we sleep tonight?"

Me: At Wyatts house, right Wyatt? We can sleep at your house? (say yes Wyatt, say yes!)

Tim: "Good...and we can play Wii there too"

A bed and a wii....all is fine in his world. Whew...

Happily our house did not blow apart. And I didn't even tell a lie.

BTW--this picture has nothing to do with the storm. But I was determined to post a picture today :-) The video will have to wait until tomorrow.

Why can't I get this to post with my paragraph breaks????

What is wrong with me?

I've been thinking about entering blogger land since January. I stalk a handful of blogs and you all make it look so easy. Let me tell you, this Blogger thingy is intimidating. (please tell me there is spell check) I JUST DON'T GET IT. I am not dumb. At least I don't think I am. Maybe I should get my 10 year old to help me. I could ask my husband, but then I won't be able to vent about him here ;-)

See...I just accidentally (where is that spell check??) saved a draft and it took me a few minutes to get this opened back up.


Trying to upload a video....keeping my fingers crossed this worked. Nope....taking too long and I'm impatient. That will be my goal for tomorrow a photo upload.

Okay...I'm hitting the button. I'll play around more later.....
