I guess a normal-sized spoon was not big enough…

Lafayette Contest of Champions
It was up at 4:00 am to get the kids out the door for the first marching band competition of the year.
The competition was at Lafayette High School in Wildwood, MO. Andy and I arrived about 11:15 am and found a place in the stands to watch the preliminary performance. You could tell that all the kids were nervous, but Hickman still placed second in their division and made the finals. Their finals performance was the best run of the show that I have seen to date, and I really thought that they might place first or second overall.
However, it was not to be, and they placed third. It was still a fun day filled with great performances, and John did really well in his first marching competition. Congratulations to our two and the rest of the Hickman High Marching Band!
Concert
Andy went with JT to see Molly Healey at the Boone County Historical Society as part of their Storytellers series while the kids and I stayed home and went to bed early. The first marching band competition is tomorrow!
Shaving
It was another milestone for John tonight. He officially learned how to shave his mustache! In the end, Andy took a picture of the Barbasol can since John would not let him take a picture while he was shaving…
Shakespeare’s
Tonight, I joined Andy and some of Big Tree Cycling at Shakespeare’s for pizza and drinks. It was great to see everyone and, hopefully, I can get back to riding the Green & Black Ride next year.
Lava Girl
My bicycle has returned home from a check-up and yearly maintenance at CycleX. Apparently, Lava Girl landed on me during the accident and mostly in the water, so she sustained no damage from the crash. Also, we ordered a new helmet and clear lenses for my cycling glasses. I am hoping to get back on the bike within a week or two!
Slowly Getting Back to Normal
I helped with laundry today and managed to make dinner. Admittedly, it was only Hamburger Helper, green beans, and crescent rolls, but I made dinner.
