All Saints School Talent Show - HUGE SUCCESS!!

Friday, April 24, was the school talent show. Hannah, 3rd grade, and Katie, 8th grade, played a duet on the piano. They played Merrily We Roll Along. They did WONDERFUL!!!! Then I was part of a skit with the teachers. We sang and danced to the movie hit "Sister Act" and sang "I Will Follow Him". We had sooo much fun practicing all week. We all got so nervous as we prepared to go on stage, but boy did we have fun. It was a riot. The crowd loved us. Hannah and I had an exciting evening.

Today we took an afternoon bikeride. We explored a path and found Texas Bluebonnets. It was in a field so we were able to pick them. Hopefully we will get a few seeds from them.

Cherry Blossom Treasure

Today we went to a sweet little antique shop in downtown Broken Arrow. We found this adorable little plate for our tiny plate colletion. What caught my eye was the cherry blossoms. We just photographed them on Sunday during out outing with Brian. The previous post has my photo.
