The last day of school before Christmas break was Seth and Evelyn's STEAM day. Evelyn had a fever and her partner has brain cancer, so we decided to keep her home. Seth built a catapult and they tested them in the halls.
We had some good snow storms and they've been beautiful.
The kids did their piano recitals. They all played so beautifully! Ada has a beautiful musicality to her music, Sam is starting to work on some new skills, Evelyn identifies with her music and Seth is so proud when he memorizes. None of the kids had to start over or forget their songs. They all played so well. Seth got shy at the last minute. His was a possible duet and both his teacher and I offered to play with him, but he grabbed Sam and asked his brother for help. Sam was very willing to. He even sang the words to help them both keep the same timing. My favorite moment was when the two of them hugging did a bow together.
On Jer's birthday, the kids didn't want to just give him his present.... so while he was at a meeting they made a treasure hunt for him. It was so funny.... they kept having to shush each other so they didn't give up the spots too easily.
For his birthday, Jeremy wanted an apple pie. So we made a steak dinner with homemade mashed potatoes and delicious pie. It was Evelyn's first time making the dough so Jer had to tweak it a little bit, but overall it was very good.
Happy birthday my Jer.
