HA!! Go Matt!!! We got our own private beach!
Yummmm
BBQ chips anyone?
As I lay me down to sleep, I heard someone say that Ken had sent home pics of our musical hoopla...so I thought I'd explain before u think too much of me.
Understand this: I teach piano so everyone thinks I play too, which I don't. I mean I could... years ago...... rather badly .......... now I fake it. Isn't that what teachers and coaches do? Talk the talk?
Anyway,when Ken told me about the staff Monday Music nite, I thought, Campfire Sing Along, guitars, Kumbaya...yay! I'm in!
Then he led me over to this big room w a piano at one end. The guitar player sees me and says, Good, r u the piano player?......who ME?! Not me! What has Ken gotten me into???
Well when Jordan gave me those puppy dog eyes, how could I let him down? Specially after he had just snuck my swim cloths into the StaffOnly dryer.
So I gathered up the same courage it took for me to pass that death-defying SwimTest, and sat down at those pearlies and thought, Do it for the boys, Girl! And I did.
Amazing to think that 6 beginning harmonica players HeeHaw-ing their way thu the banjo version of Over the Rainbow, Elton's Rocketman, Jet Plane and more (I drew the line at The Entertainer)...accompanied by this old lady plinka-plunkin' along...could actually sound good! But we pulled it off!
It was Ryan the guitar player who saved us all and we had a great time together! By the end of the nite, we were marveling at our incredible talent. "We should do this EVERY nite!" I thought I could hear the howling dogs on the mainland sounding off in agreement....

Day 1 continued
A picture says a million words, or a million words paints a picture! Yes! Way to go, Donna!
I can't tell u how many times I heard from Ken, "Don't b a mom." Even at the end of Matt's prep mtg, he says, "Mr Gamble told me tell u adults not to say things like Did u put on ur sunscreen and Go brush ur teeth...that's MY job!"
I didn't know it carried over into comedy restrictions, too. 3 times now I've made a joke or commented on something funny and the boys have responded w, "that's what we just said."...Ok,ok, just pretend I'm not here! I get it, adults should b seen and not heard.
Seriously, tho...I'm being WELL taken care of. I got my own tent, about half a block away from the boys...should I be insulted? I'm not, closer to the potty! YES!
And Jordan hooked me up w a double mattress and access to the secret chocolate stash. Shhhh! AND I got breakfast in bed and a morning nap! I'm telling u moms, this is the life!
