Today was the day for the big haircut - we had bought some scissors at Office Depot and hair dye from the grocery store - so we were all set. Scott wasn't quite so enthusiastic but he was willing and that's all it takes. He has been such a good sport! I had told him numerous times that I just wanted it trimmed - half an inch is all. So he takes out the special comb the girls sent him, parts the hair like he knows what he is doing; and makes his first cut. I made him cut it in front of the mirror so I could see what he was doing. Bad idea because his first cut was 1 1/2 inches and by the time I realized that my hair was lyng on the floor and he had to make the hair even so just kept cutting. So now it is just as short as it was the first time. However the color is much better and he thought this one was easier to do. He will never be Diane but at least he is willing!
We had our music teaching meeting out in Hainamosa today at 5:00. It took us 45 minutes to get there so we were a few minutes late. That is never a problem here as the majority of the people arrive half way through. They were having an EFY at the Stake Center so there were kids everywhere. The high councilor over music is a great guy. He said the kids wait all year for EFY so they can be together with other Mormon kids. This stake has the choir director who wants his choir to learn to read music. He wants to learn how to play the piano. Scott mentioned to him that he should be teaching and he quickly said he would. So he took over and was teaching stuff that isn't even in our manuals. Every time he stopped talking to show them something someone in the group would start singing a song and before you knew it the whole group was harmonizing to a Christmas hymn. Not exactly the direction we were planning but it was fun to listen to them. This could be a challenge just keeping the group on task!
It's noisy in the neighborhood again. Last night the neighbors had a party on their roof "patio" that began with pop and a barbecue and ended with alcohol and them singing along with some screen. So obviously got worse as the night went on. Tonight it looks like another group of neighbors is having a birthday party for one of their little kids so it isn't quite as loud but they are having a good time!
