this is what "it's a girl!" is made of....

Tonight I had the absolute joy of presenting Perpetua with a new dress and fixing her hair for her chorus concert tonight. 

My mad hair-doing skillz in action for my daughter. I love doing things like this for her.

Here she is holding a baby chick in her classroom before the concert. Did I mention she is only eight years old??????? Geez. I feel like I should post a picture of my husband polishing a gun here :-) And, this kid has five brothers. So there.

Yes, this post is all about showing off my girl. However, my son Allen is also in the extracurricular chorus. It was his last year (since he's in 6th grade). He received a certificate for his participation. Aaron was a moderately willing fourth grade participant - the fourth graders played recorders.

It was a great concert, as school concerts go (and I've been to a LOT of them).
