Ms. Karen's piano party....

Every 4-5 weeks, Ms. Karen has a party/recital for her "little students" only, No parents allowed... hence no photos. Jasmine got to play one line of "Twinkle A" with Ms. Karen's help.

There is usually a theme to these piano parties... for example, the kids got little Easter baskets last month... little bags of Christmas toys in December, etc. This party was two hours, so I was trying to think of things to do. I went grocery shopping... which takes all of 15 minutes, but I stretched it out to 30 minutes by looking at every single item at Trader Joe's. Still 1 1/2 hours left... so I went to Kohl's right next door to Trader Joe's and bought a couple of work out shirts.... and still got back to the party a bit early. It's way to hot to just sit in the car and read which is what most of the parents do when it is cooler.

So, this month was a big pizza party for 15 little kids. There was a stack of 8 extra large pizzas sitting on the counter!!!! When I walked in to pick Jazzy up, there was a mass of little boy bodies wrestling on the floor- lots of screaming and yelling. Jasmine was sitting at a table with some other little girls with a piece of pizza on her plate. However,.... in the kitchen was a large chocolate fountain with a huge table of strawberries, bananas, marshmallows and cookies. Jasmine's face was covered with liquid chocolate, and it was dripping from her chin. Her plate was full of marshmallows. I said, "Jazzy, what did you have for dinner?".... She replied "Chocolate covered marshmallows"!:))) We are really going downhill on our diet here! Wish I would have had the camera....:)
