Just so you all know...

I decided to also post the evidence that Sam was set up from the beginning:




See, all the other kids who played in the concert got to do so seated, from the stage. Sam's teacher's daughter decided to have this particular quartet of boys leave the stage and come to the floor of the hall. As you saw from the video in the previous post, that didn't turn out to be a good idea.

The video of Sammy's concert

Okay. Emmy said that I just have to set the video to upload and walk away for 24hours-ish and then it will be here. It took a long time, anyway.

So, here's video from Sammy's violin concert:




You can kinda hear Dad pleading to Mom to get up there and help him with the music...To her credit, she didn't want to get up there, but Dad sounded so desperate.

Sam's Spring Concert (Gone bad) (According to Sam)

Today was Sammy's violin concert. We were not sure he was going to play in it, actually, because of his track injury the previous Thursday. In fact, he had called his teacher to tell her he might not be able to make the concert. But the thing was that I had already asked for the day off at work specifically for the purposes of attending his concert and after we fed the missionaries (and after prying Sammy out of the chair in the front room) we got in the car and headed off to the concert.





It was a pretty good concert and in true form, Sammy tried his hardest to make sure we did not get a picture of his face. But then, Sam's teacher's daughter, who was conducting the concert, made him, and the other boys he played with, leave their seats and go to the floor to play their song. Things didn't exactly go well. There's a corresponding video that showed what happened when we realized that Sam's music stand was directly below the air vent, but I'm having a hard time uploading it right now. I'll try to post it again later. The main thing is that we all had a pretty good time when it was all said and done.

The Challenge Race - April 10, 2009

For some reason, Dad said the track was calling to him this morning and he really wanted to race Sammy... They didn't stretch, remove their coats, or wear real track shoes, but they made pretty good time. Dad wants to do this every day before Sammy goes to school. I have volunteered to be the official time keeper. We'll see.
