It's pi day! It always find it amusing and fun when stuff like this happens. To think we won't get this again for 100 more years!
Today started off early. I never enjoy waking up to an alarm on Saturday morning. I don't like being tired and I like my sleep. Today however was MSBOA District Band and Orchestra Festival and Ariana had to be at the high school at 7am. UGH! That is EARLY for a Saturday morning. Luckily another mom, who was a chaperone, offered to drive Ariana. That meant I could take my time and wake up a little bit before getting there at 7:45am.
The band was amazing!! They sounded great!! I am so impressed with what they can do. This is only their second year playing an instrument and they sound wonderful!!! The judges thought so too because they received 5 1s!! That is the highest rating. You can tell they all worked very hard. Ariana has a lot of respect for her band directer. She is a strict teacher but very well respected.
I was never in band and never played an instrument. I love hearing Ariana play. I love going to her concerts. The group sounds so good you forget they are only 7th graders!!! I am also very happy that Ariana likes playing her oboe and so far wants to stick with it.
The other part of Pi Day, didn't involve me but involved Julia and Trevor. So yesterday evening on his way home from work Trevor gets a call from Julia. She noticed that when she got to dance she had a flat tire. Trevor got to be a hero and went up there and put her spare on and drove her car home leaving his car for her.
Last night he discovered her tire had a nail in it and it was very worn down so he thinks it has been there for awhile. Today he went over to my dad's house to put a tire plug in it. He has had some practice with this because just last Saturday Julia was driving my car and ran over a nail and he had to fix that tire leak. Well, there were two hole in her tire so he had to take it to Bell Tire to get it fixed.
I was telling my dad all this and he said he hopes she doesn't take after my mom or brother. I guess my mom used to always run over nails. At one point she had a tire that had 5 tire plugs in it! And my brother Mike got so many flat tires he was a pro at changing them not he side of the road. He could change a flat on the side of the road in less than five minutes. LOL, yea, let's hope she doesn't take after them!!
Happy Pi Day!! 3.141592653
