Sitting On The Bleachers

I had the wonderful opportunity to spend a lot of "quality" time with Brenna today.

However, I could look at it as an opportunity to let my behind get wider.

OR...

I could look at it as an opportunity to do a little art work.

What was this opportunity, you ask?

Ahh...spending 4 1/2 hours on the bleachers at Brenna's school today.

I took my sketch book for the heck of it.

I had some ideas for the "She Art" class...

These are from the a.m. bleacher sitting. From 7-10 a.m.

Brenna is part of a "show" choir and was part of the chapel at school this morning.

She joined the other choirs for singing worship and she was a trooper for such an early morning practice.

Then I stayed for 1st period, as her regular shadow had finals today.

 First period is choir. 

In the gym.

More practice for the big recital performance on Wednesday evening.

Then I had to stay for chapel to see how she did.

She tends to love performing, but has developed a bad case of nerves while up on stage and will start to cough, then yawn, then take a big breath and, well, gag. 

Doug and I often wonder why we continue to let her do choir.

Thank goodness it didn't happen today. She actually had a blast!

We were back at the gym after school for more practice for the big night.

She seemed to be doing pretty well, having fun..so I sketched some more.

And made myself laugh

with my little doodles.

I'm hoping they will show up again with colorful paper to outline them in some way.

But not tonight. I think my head might roll right off my shoulders.

I'm just glad I'm off the bleachers!

Sweet dreams...
