Last night was the annual art show held at the library by the homeschooling support group. It was very entertaining. I failed at my one and only job though...taking the pictures of my children while they trotted up on the stage for their fifteen seconds of fame. They each received a certificate of participation and a goodie bag. They were so proud. Hope even waited until her name was called and then went up on stage like she had been doing it for a million years.

I, being the novice that I am with our digital camera, accidently pushed the power button while trying to snap the pictures and messed up the whole fleeting moment. I think I was just excited and nervous and my brain was ooohing and aaaahing at my babies names being called up to get an award and not focusing on the task. So, by the time I got my act together and got the camera kick started back up the moment had passed. I really missed the whole thing because I was pulled out of the initial ooh and aah by the sound of my camera shutting down. And I have absolutely no pictures and no real concrete memory of what they all actually looked like while they were up there! I am so heartbroken. Bad bad bad mama.
