I hope to keep it all that way for a while. But then tonight I thought I should switch Karen's and Caitlyn's seats so that Emily could sit on the other side and I don't know.... The problem is that Karen's seat sticks out over the bench and a booster seat can't sit there. Previously I had the rear-facing seats lined up in the middle. I liked that, but Eric's seat is finicky.
Tomorrow we are going to Provo area to check out a viola and violin. Caitlyn has set her heart on playing viola and Emily on violin. I was just going to get one for Caitlyn and the violin is cheaper, but she won't go for the violin. I am not exactly sure about getting an instrument for Emily too. She doesn't like to practice and tends to throw things in frustration. I'm thinking. I've been trying to research violins and violas to figure out what to look for and whether I'm getting a good deal or not. I've got some music store addresses and we may go try out fine instruments prior to checking out the used ones. I don't want to invest money in a poor instrument. This is so stressful!
We had an orchestra concert tonight. It was dumb. We had 2 practices a week set up for 2 1/2 weeks. The first week it was cold, then only 4 showed up, so no practice. The second week there were 5 and 6 of us and the director made us play. The last rehearsal we had a decent sized small orchestra. We played Mussorgsky's "Night on Bald Mountain" among other music. Fortunately only a few family members came, so we weren't embarrassed too much. While I like orchestra, I may boycott next summer.
I just realized this evening that I can't stand the terrible threes or whatever you want to call three year olds. I am sick and tired of messes all over everywhere. I don't mind only having one more kid. Then once I'm through- that is it. Will Karen ever be potty trained? She's back to wearing diapers since she is out of panties. She's using them too.
