House full of Instruments

The spring Tuba exodus has begun.  I have four naked Tubas, a baritone, two tenor saxes and a french horn in my parlor.  I had to make sure to leave a path to the piano for Alex because today is his last piano lesson.  Both kids want desperately to try the Tuba.  I am putting it off until the weekend because once they start, they won't want to stop.  My arms are sore from moving instruments already.  I need to work out daily to prepare for five long days of instrument cleaning next week.  I can almost smell the mix of suntan lotion and vinegar now.

It is hard to believe that another school year is coming to an end.  I hope our summer break is filled with picnics and cool adventures to new places.  There will be books to read and lots and lots of knitting!

Alex the sleepwalker

It seems that I have passed on my skills of sleepwalking to Alex.  He has been doing it a lot this weekend.  He doesn't turn on any lights, just walks around in the dark and appears of nowhere.  Sometimes he will say a few words, but most of the time you can only get yes or no answers.  If you ask him a math question he will answer it and is almost always right.  That is so funny, I guess that means he is so good at math that he can do it in his sleep.
