Hot days and Cold Seats

The other day we took the kids to the Choir Concert where Amber was playing piano and Aylee was singing. The concert took place in the school gym. Since Amber had to accompany, I was watching the kids by myself. We had to get there early so that Amber and Aylee could get situated in their places, so we were able to score front row seats.

We had about 15 minutes before the choir started, so we let the kids sit on the floor an do art, climb over the chairs, and whatever else little monkeys like to do in public places.

We were all dressed up for the special event. Johnathan and I were in our ties, and Amber ahd the girls dolled up in dresses. Before the concert started, Alayna kept complaining about the metal folding chairs being cold and wanted to sit on my lap. I kept telling her, no. I wanted to demonstrate how I could keep my children in an appropriate attitude and comportment for concerts. Besides with the heat of the afternoon outside, I thought the cooler gym was nice.

During the first part of the concert I was taking little film clips of each song to capture the moment. Aliece and Alayna would try to talk to me and I would "Shsh" them and try not to look at them so that they would be discouraged from trying to talk to me during the performance. This worked pretty well, except for Alayna's plea's to sit on my lap because of the cold chairs.

Half way through the event I did a quick check on the kids to make sure that they were paying rapt attention to the musical program. As my eyes glanced on Alayna, I just about died. Our little girl was sitting on the chair with legs in Indian style. There in plain view was the absence of any underclothing under that dress. With my face turning red, I quickly grabbed the child and sat her on my lap with her dress pinned down to my legs so as not to expose her to the 125 elementary school choir children directly in front of us.

In between two of the songs, I caught Amber's attention and showed her a very upper thigh on Alayna. Amber caught on immediately and began laughing her head off.

What is with this child lately!!!
