.busy.boys.: Busy bees

The last couple of weeks have flown by. We are getting excited here in the Graham household because school is almost out - and as soon as school is out we can start summer vacation! Woo-hoo. Marc is busy prepping the choir and band for graduation this coming sunday as well as trying to get the rooms, his office and the instruments all cleaned up. Then he has to do inventory, grades and assessments before he can officially check out for the summer.

A week ago last Saturday was prom. Marc's talents were hired for one of the prom dinners that the senior parents put on every year. They turn the senior center into high school paradise and serve a nice dinner to the prom participants (and anyone else that wants to have an 'upscale' experience). =) Marc's payment was free dinner for him and a date and he asked me! =) I accepted, of course, and we found a babysitter for the evening. We dressed up, had dinner and then attended the grand march which was an *event.* Its held in the high school auditorium and everyone comes. The kids all take turns marching out onto the stage and then posing for a few moments while pictures are taken and then the next couple is announced - a lot more fuss than I remember from my high school formals - but everyone enjoyed them selves and that's what counts.

This last Saturday night was the high school play. Marc and I again got a babysitter and attended - it was an interesting plot and they did a nice job. Its always neat to see the students in different capacities. It was fun to get out again.

Yesterday we were pleased to have a last minute trip from my parents to help us celebrate Mother's Day. Marc got up early (ish) and cooked breakfast. Then we all went to church where we sang in the choir and the church had a nice recognition of mothers. One of the local restaurants had a sunday brunch buffet so we partook of prime rib, pastries and quiche. It was pretty good. Then Des entertained the grandparents for awhile before they headed back home. (PS it took me 15 minutes to find the correct spelling for quiche.)

I still don't have my camera but I do have a few pictures. Its hard to catch Des in the act of anything cute because the minute I pull out Marc's camera to take pictures Des notices it and wants to play with it- therefore dropping whatever activity he happened to be cute at. He didn't do that with my camera (maybe he was used to it?).
