today was spencer's first playing test in music. i don't know how his teacher bears to listen to nearly 200 kids playing their recorders!!! that sound drives me nuts, and that's just when spencer is the only one playing! he can play the notes just fine, but the tone of that recorder literally makes my ears hurt. but since i'm such an awesome mom, i actually let him practice for his test in the car!!! i drove with one hand on the wheel and the other one over my ear...

"jingle bells"
this evening on the way to church, my car was still full of noise! the rolling stones were singing "satisfaction" on the radio, spencer and i were shouting, "slugbug, red"..."slugbug silver"...etc. {i won, by the way!} while colby was singing "alice the camel has 5 humps, alice the camel has 5 humps, alice the camel has 5 humps. so go, alice, go. boom, boom, boom." he just kept going and going all the while getting louder and louder. this is a picture of him SHOUTING this song in my ear!!!! i know i will miss all this noise when they are grown and gone, so i have to keep telling myself that.
since we got to church early, i needed something to do. i was feeling like coloring with crayons, so i did. here's my little creativeness for today:

I am sooooo with you on the recorder. I'm not really sure how that noise counts as music, but what do I know? Chet gets so proud of himself playing the notes, but it's all I can do to keep from going out of my head! Also-Love today's quote! Ain't that the truth! Hope your hubby's better!
