HBC Homeschool Fine Arts Recital

Well, the big day finally came. All of the hard work and hours of practice on two piano pieces finally got heard tonight. I don't know who was more nervous...the kids or ME. When you have two kids playing a duet, the potential of a domino effect is greater. If one makes a mistake and the other doesn't respond to it properly, you have a piano train wreck. Thankfully, that didn't happen. They didn't play flawlessly, but they certainly did a great job. I was proud as punch!!!

The twins also submitted art work to be displayed downstairs during our reception time. Shaylen chose to draw an ant and Marshall decided on drawing Robert Hooke's microscope. They both got the idea from some art books so there were instructions on how to go about drawing them. They did a great job!

"Consider Her Ways" by Shaylen

"Robert Hooke's Microscope" by Marshall

We had a great time and we loved hearing all of the musical pieces and speeches. Everyone did a fantastic job! Afterwards we all went downstairs for a reception and were able to take our time and examine all of the artwork displayed. Thank you so much, Jane for all of the hard work you put into making this a HUGE success.

On a side note: We were so excited to have the more "formal" occasion in order to use the beautiful, fancy dress that Shaylen has on. It was given to Dad & Cathy by friends and then handed down to us. Shaylen looked beautiful in it! It was perfect. Thank you!
