Hosting

Warning:

It seems that no matter how many different ways I write my post and upload the pics. I still have not learned how to get the pics. and post in the order that I want.

So the pictures are in opposite order and my post is last.

Have fun reading!

After the concert we took our kids, and my "taxi" kids to our local

Golden arches for their first Mac Donald's in the U.S.

So much fun!

Our two exchange girls, Laura, Sarah, and Josie after the concert.

( both choirs singing together)

This past week the local High School choir hosted a choir from Australia.

We were one of the few families who were lucky enough to have 2 girls stay with us.

(Well not actually us, my house is FULL but my in laws have a spare room with two empty beds)

It was one of the BEST experiences EVER!

The girls were so polite.

Listening to them talk, was just lovely.

Hearing them perform, so amazing.

I was also the "taxi mom" to two other boys.

They were a lot of fun too!

They did teach me many things.

The most important was ......

ALL teens forget!

For a long time I was under the belief that I messed my kids up.

I had some how not taught them the art of bringing your stuff with you.

Then I noticed other moms bringing forgotten items.

It it a national epidemic?

I started to believe that we were doing something wrong.

But...It is not me or our nation.

It is a global problem.

I think it has been diagnosed as adolescents.

The day of the concert 5 of the 6 kids I drove forgot their things.

And guess who remembered all of her stuff?

Josie.

Did you ever think that would happen?

Nope not me either.

If you are ever approached to host anyone please do it.

This experience was wonderful and the girls made new face book friends.

I Loved that no matter how different the cultures were they found common ground, For them it was music. They found common music and filled the car with their singing. Harmonies, and giggles were the radio this week.

Now if you have ever sat in a car with Josie you know she sings.

I also have the pleasure to transport Shasta, who also sings.

So to say that my car gets a little loud sometimes is an understatement.

But with 6 singers in the car I was able to sing along and no one knew,

no one could hear me.

So Much FUN!
