Home School Presentation Night
The kids' Home School Group had their biannual Presentation Night earlier this week. It was a much smaller than usual presentation - normally it takes about 2-21/2 hours to get through all of the kids and their various talents, talks or demonstrations. This one? Only 40 minutes. There were only 11 "acts" and 5 of those were done by my kids or their siblings (or some combination there of). Weird, just weird. I know there are still about 40+ kids in Home School Group so the program wasn't small because of a lack of kids. Oh well - it made for a much earlier than expected end to the evening which isn't always bad on snowy/blowy nights and long work weeks.
I apologize in advance for the photo quality. I still haven't mastered a good photo in that chapel - the lighting is all wrong and the camera is sensitive to the slightest movement.
Here is girl child singing her solo. "He Sent His Son" has a very nice message and a lovely tune.

Because there was so little time between her solo and her family karate demonstration, she ended up singing in her karategi
Boy child took a more laid back approach to presentation night this time. We haven't yet had a chance to chat about why he opted not to do the drum solo he was telling me about for weeks. Instead, he gave the appropriate snare drum crashes to his little sister's comedy routine. 
The final act of the evening was the family karate demonstration. Boy child, girl child and their younger sister and brother each demonstrated "Journey" - this is the skill about which my joking caused much eye rolling on her part. You can read more about that here. As you can see, girl child remembered to take off her shoes and socks but forgot to take off her sweat pants. It was very cold in the chapel that night and the uniforms are very thin. I felt sorry for the ones who opted to wear their karategi with nothing else for the entire evening - good thing it was only 40 minutes.
In all it was a pleasant evening. You're all invited to the next one.

school stuff is always fun!! We never used to have evenings like this, but we did have the annual Christmas performance - lots of fun!!
It sounds wonderful and the pictures are great too!! Yay for being homeschooled! Here from ICLW.
It sounds like a great evening. I have problems taking pics at my son's Tae Kwon Do studio. They always turn out so dark and I have to digitally lighten them.

Sounds like you had a nice time. And an extra bonus that it wasn't quite as long.

It's great to catch up on how you and your family are doing this month. That pic of your daugher singing with her gear on is precious.
