Five Months and Four Colds Later . . .

How can five months go so fast???  The summer flew by with a fabulous trip to Cancun in June, friends visiting from Colorado in July, and August in San Diego.  School came quicker than I could believe, but they were both ready for it.

This year Andrea started middle school and attends the same one Justin goes to.  She is also my little spy as my very handsome 7th grade son is quite the thing with the girls.  Now, all you men out there are thinking "Go, Justin!", while all the moms are thinking "Whoa, Justin!".  So like I said Andrea keeps track of things for me!!!   Anyway they both love school, their classes and teachers!

They are both in musical performing groups at school. Justin's group is the "Show Men" and Andrea is part of the girls group called "Show Time".  These groups take this singing and dancing very seriously and the groups compete all over the state.  They will be performing at Disneyland and Knotts Berry Farm, just to name a few of their performance venues.  So . . .this momma is off to dance lessons and singing lessons three afternoons after school, running to the dance store for jazz shoes, tap shoes, ballet schoes and who knew there are even shoes called character shoes -then on to trying on costumes, etc., etc., etc.  Whew . . . oh yeah and then there is homework. Justin is in all honors classes and Andrea is taking 7 periods of academics this year, and those teachers love to pile on the work, so we are not having regular bedtimes, which is why we probably all have colds!!!!!

More later . . .when we get over the sniffles!
