Band, Orchestra and Art

This was a week of fine arts for us, 

and that's pretty unusual in this household of 

sports, sports and more sports!

Aidan had both Band and Orchestra concerts for school.  

He plays French Horn and Viola so gets to participate in both concerts.  

Here he is at the Band Concert with his french horn.

I forgot to get a picture of him at the Orchestra Concert...

but he looked just like this,

same curly locks and bow tie,

except he was holding a viola case!

This week was also full of Art Shows.

Audra's pre-school

Aidan and Maura's elementary school

and Riley's middle school   

Riley's artwork:

 Riley with his first initial...Dr. Who themed.

Aidan's artwork:

The elementary art show was the same night as the Band Concet...

all the kids were proudly showing off their masterpieces in their formal attire.

Maura's artwork:

"Stargazing Snowman" above her head

and

"Heart so full" 

(of painted round clay balls) around her neck,

which was much too heavy for a necklace!

This one reminds me of Angry Birds!

Audra's artwork:

 "Rubber duckie in a nest"

"Noodle Rainbow"

This one was probably a challenge for Audra,

she LOVES to hold and rip pieces of paper!

So for her to have to glue down her beloved 

little pieces of paper must have been a torture.

The minute this piece of artwork came home

she started to pull off all the little pieces of colorful paper!
