The ball

Ahja's first dance


So the kids went to the homeschool ball on Saturday - none of them danced!! Lol!
Well, Dianna and her friend (who we met there) danced. They learned some old English style dancing - it looked fun.
I didn't stay. I took Janiyah home... she wasn't behaving well all week, so she was grounded. Which unfortunately meant I was grounded as well. We will definitely go back next year - and I will stay.

Last week was quiet - other than Janiyah getting caught lying to her teacher and me. Struggling to keep her on timeout is real... man! You can easily tell there was a lack of structure for 5 years. We hope it breaks soon.

Dianna
Deven and Kate
Next week, Deven starts guitar lessons again. He's trying to play a song for his final. He's really close, but he needs a little help. The studio is right down the street, so it's very convenient. He had one lesson there and liked it. We'll see what happens this time.

I'm trying to record him singing and playing. He's so nervous singing in front of people... he needs to get out of that. Dianna sings as well, but she just doesn't feel like it. It's annoying to have such talent surround you and they don't want to use it. I've asked them to perform a song together... it hasn't happened yet. They don't even rehearse. It's going to happen....

Anyhow - I'm tired, and I have a LONG day of work ahead of me tomorrow.

Have a great night!
