Spring arrived in style. It was a busy week for the Oliver girls, especially Kali. She auditioned for May Festival, which is a city wide vocal music show. She was selected to sing a duet! She was so surprised and excited about the opportunity. I now have plans for my birthday, that's the day of the performance. For the past few weeks she's been in "training" for the city track meet. Again, she was not expecting to make the track team, but she did. Anyone who knows Kali knows she's not all that competitive. This was her first ever sporting event and she did pretty well. She placed 5th overall in the long jump, again she was competing against kids from every elementary school in Akron. Not bad, but being the overachiever she is, she was disappointed. Her relay team got 3rd, that was great. Believe it, or not - Miller South School for the Visual and Performing Arts took 3rd in the city!!!!! Kali was so proud of herself and her friends.
For Peyton, this week was full of shamrocks and leprechauns. St. Patrick's Day is one of her favorite holidays. Wednesday was a gorgeous day, so she got to go to the park to search for rainbows and pots of gold. No luck. We did go out for corned beef and she saw people drinking green beer. She was mesmerized. That does not bode well for her college years. Because Jimmy's work schedule changed, poor Peyton has to come to the studio with me while I teach. She loves being there, I can't believe it. She even tries to behave. My teenage students just love her. So do I.
