It’s that time of year again — when my children have to perform in holiday events and don’t have appropriate clothing to wear. We must live a too casual lifestyle because my kids never have dress pants or dress shoes or even a white shirt to wear. So we went on our annual (or biannual) shopping expedition so that Calvin could play the saxophone for his Middle School band concert.
Thankfully, we found the items we needed at a price that wasn’t too outrageous. I draw the line at dress shoes — I’m not spending money on shoes he’ll only wear once, so I bought a pair of black Vans-type shoes that he can wear every day.

Smiling at his sister who was waving and excited to see him on stage.
She was pretty well behaved except for when she started yelling, “I don’t want to whisper!” in the middle of their rendition of Cyndi Lauper’s True Colors. (I despise that song anyway and wasn’t sorry to have to take her out for that part of it, especially since Calvin wasn’t playing at that time).
Proud performer and his number one fan after the show — the music put her in a dancing mood and she was hamming it up. I have no idea where she gets that from . . .
