Pondering on Bizbannah..

This is Savannah..

Maybe you know her..

{one of her many nicknames is..

BIZBANNAH

..given by her friend Baylie,

..back when Baylie couldn't say

SAVANNAH}

..modeling a hat she made..

..more on that in a minute..

Savannah has been making a very hard decision..

..what instrument to play in orchestra..

..she's been deciding between the Viola & the Cello..

This decision has to be made TODAY..

..definite pros & cons to each..

Pro - viola - mom played for 10+ years..

Con - cello- size..

{I think these are the main points at the moment}

She was really decided on the viola,

until the orchestra assembly..

..decisions..

..no one in our house is good at these..

I also got this note on my bed this morning..

Mom,

While I am at school

can you call Angie and see

if I can get more layers?

Savannah

For our "back-to-school" haircut,

we put a few layers in her hair..

apparently, she wants some more..

I'm not sure she realizes this will potentially mean

more time in the "stylists chair"

{meaning the folding chair in my bathroom}

She's definitely a "tween"

She's more "in to"

a little more grown up stuff..

but still, really just a little girl..

*sigh*

Have I mentioned her plate is a little full??

On top of orchestra starting next week..

{Tuesday & Thursday 8-8:50 before school}

She's in dance Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday

{totalling 8 hours/week}

AND she has her last Activity Days today..

{every other Wednesday 3-4}

{so will be starting Young Women in 2 weeks,

every Wednesday night}

AND she has lots of homework..

AND she's in piano..

{Wednesdays 3:45-4:15 + practice}

..here she is practicing this morning..

..her recital song..

"Paparazzi"

yes, the Lady Gaga song..

{is her teacher hip or what??}

{hip probably isn't a very hip word..}

..some art homework she did last night..

..just thought it was cool..

{is cool better??}

..oh yeah..

There are kids from the high school going to India,

and they asked the 6th graders to help with hats to take over..

In the last week and a half

she's made 5!!

Savannah!

You are one crazy, busy girl..

I LOVE YOU!!

*by the way..

Viola..

*also, Baylie also used to say

BIZBURBAN..

for Suburban..
