Baby Sitting

  I was baby sitting to day and so the little boy that I baby sit (his name is Lincon), randomly found a top of a flash light. Weird. :} Now we had three other kids over (we/my mom and I baby sit them threee days a week for the whole day, well until dinner.)
 So I was kinda occupied with them (mostly the seven month old) and there were some paper towels sitting out. After getting some food ready I look over and Lincon is shredding the paper towels to bit.
I quickly went over and took the paper towels from him before I realized that he had shoved the flach light top he had found in there.
It was just the right size that it fit in there so perfectly it proved to be almost impossible to get out.    So I worked on getting it out for like five minutes with a worried little Lincon looking up at me. Silly little boy. I had to get a long wooden spoon and push it through.
  Earlier today I had to change his diaper :{. So when I went to throw it out the trash cans were not in the garage, they were out side.  I had my slippers on. But I was annoyed with every thing in life at that moment (yes I know it is still the same day and I am feeling much better)  so I just took of my slippers and went outside in the snow bare foot to throw it away.
I did it again just barely.
  Right now Lincon is at his house with his mom probably getting into some thing he is not suppose to get into (he does that A LOT) and the little seven month old is attempting to open my violin case that is right next to me and Angih (she is four) is singing and playing the piano and pretending she is selling my Christmas book to customers. 
  She can be really sweat but every one has a dark side. Well not really a dark side but just quirks, you know?
Baby sitting can get tiring. But it is worth it because you get the money. In one case I get a back massage. :} :)

Ward Christmas Party, Notes and Tour of the Tabernacle

  We had the wards Christmas party on Saturday and it was a lot of fun. I got to play my songs and I messed up a little bit in the beginning and got really embarrassed. But the rest was really good.  
I also played where are you Christmas with my friend Caitlin. (She was on the violin and I was on the piano). 
Every one loved our songs.
  There are some really talented people in our ward.There was a guitar duet and the younger kid had fingers going all over the finger board (he was playing the melody).
  There was another very talented young girl who was about seven and sung  a song from the polar express and was amazing at it. She hit all the note almost perfectly.
  So around Thanksgiving, my ward and and some other wards (all the wards were like a stake) we sung at one of Hillary Weeks performances. It was amazing. One of the videos she played was this:

So I asked my friend if she wanted to something like this. So we made 28 notes and put them in the cracks of the doors at all the houses. And we have 88 more we are going to deliver.
We just write kind things in them and at the end we wrote merry Christmas!

  The YW and YM went to temple square last night it was so much fun. We got a tour of the Tabernacle. It was so amazing!!
  There are around 270 seats but they have like 300 people in the Choir. It is because every person does not have to make it to the practices or performances.
  They have a men's wardrobe and a womens wardrobe. And apparently it is difficult to have all the men dress in the same thing 'cause all the suits basically look the same.
they have on lady make all the dresses. She has been in the Tabernacle longer than any one there. And she makes all the dresses (the guide told us it was like 200 dresses!).
  The organ is actually on a platform that can turn. so when the choir is singing the audience doesn't watch the organist they watch the choir instead.
  When the organist is doing a solo or some thing like that they turn it to face the audience.
  The room is so echo-y. If you were to stand at the opposite side of the room and a pin was dropped you would be able to hear perfectly from the opposite side of the room.
  The roof of the Tabernacle used to not be sealed onto the Tabernacle. It was just sitting there but it weighed to much that it wasn't going any where.
  If an earth quake happened it might a little bit. But now they secured it so if the roof goes so deos the rest of the building. :[ Not sure that is a good thing.
  Then after that was over we went to see the lights at temple square and got some hot chocolate. 
It was so much fun!

Merry Christmas!!

Ward Christmas Party!!!


  I am so excited yet so nervous for the ward Christmas party. It is in two days. I am playing two musical numbers. The fist is Sleigh Ride piano duet and the second is Where Are You Christmas? I am playing the piano and my friend will be on the violin.
The theme is The Grinch/Who ville. My mom was assigned to the decorations  and has been really busy with all that.
The only thing that I am worried about is that the carpel tunnel in my left hand will get inflamed again. :(
  We decorated for Christmas on Sunday and it was a lot of fun! We also got to open the first day on our German Christmas advent calenders. And Nickolaus night is to night! Yay. :) And tomarrow is Nickolaus tag! (This is a German tradition where kids set out their boots on their porch but we do in front of our bedroom doors, and Santa's helper comes and takes our Christmas list from our boots and leaves handfuls of chocolate and some oranges and nuts in our boots.) Yummy!   (not that I believe in any of that).
  Merry Christmas every one!!! You are all amazing!!

Dishes and Fall break.


  I did lots of dishes to day! It was fun. I am not sure why I love washing dishes. But I really enjoy it when I am in working mode. 
It's funny how I organize the silver ware. I put all the forks in one spot, all the spoons in one spot and all the knifes in one spot. The rest of the dish washer is only kinda organized. 

Ahh.... Fall break feels so nice! No home work. Although I still have to do my regular home school stuff.  But I have a break from the programs I am taking. >:(
 I only get Friday off. (F.Y.I. I go to school on Tuesdays and Fridays). Fridays are the fun days!  Tuesdays are just the boring core days.  
 My dad was telling me how I got it all wrong. He said I should be happy that school is out. :) (He is a part time teacher).
Oh well....
 I love that the weather is finally cooling down.  I can't stand it when the weather is way hot. I prefer cooler over warmer (most of the time).

I Love This Song!!

This is a song that would be a dream come true if I could play it. I  might start working on it measure by measure on the violin part and the piano part.
I can understand if you don't like it but I loooove it!
Loooove it!!!!!!
I'm not sure what part I would like to play more, maybe the violin part but I like both of them.
