Year End!!   Sweet & Sour!!  The girls gave their year end Choir Recital.  They sang and smiled... and had a good show of their year's work...  They ended on a sweet note... with cupcakes!!  Yum!!

Here's their lullaby... All the Pretty Little Horses:

 I hope you enjoy this snipit of their program!!  This is my first try video to post!!!

We started the venture on a very sour note!!  Lovebug was dressed and ready...  Alas, Ladybug had an official melt down... just as it was time to be gone. 

Tears... "I don't have any capris  (tears)  Those don't fit. (tears)  The shirt is too big. (tears) I won't wear it." More tears....  Oh, I don't think she'll ever out grow these clothes issues!!!  They sound way too familiar!!!  With many tears she had to go the car to find her shirt & shoes to finish dressing.  Tears and more tears and on our way across town. 

I do hope to wade thru the tears....  maybe like grass she'll get tall enough to see thru... by the time it was all over... she was thrilled with her too big shirt!!  She'll probably wear it tomorrow too!!! 

Somehow the sour is yet with me.  It is like a bitterness that I wish was gone.  I'm thankfull tomorrow is a new day... I pray I'll not make the same mistakes....  better managing time would have helped... 

I pray God give me the grace to love & teach my girls... God's wisdom to guide our paths...  His word to light our way....  and hope & faith that He goes with me....  In my weakness may He be strong.  Praying He'll give me sweetness for this lingering bitterness.  May I yet cling to Him!!  Grace! ss

 Here's the sweetness... and the sour is only a memory.....
