For the Love of Moses
How many band concerts did we sit through?!? LOL. Just kidding…we love showing up for our buddy Will who chose to be in both the general Middle School Band and to try out for the Jazz Band. Will made it, of course and treated us to double the concerts as well as extra practices before school. Parenting is a lot, but I can’t really complain about having a kid who was so excited about being a part of the fun things middle school had to offer.
Mikey’s face just says it all…we were over it at this point. Too bad for us, Will still had the rest of 7th grade and all of 8th grade to pack full of concerts. High school too! I’m going to just be thankful that in high school, they took the concerts on the road to Disney World and they brought their own chaperones.
