Band Concert, What Band Concert?

I feel like most of the time that I have a post about one of my kids, it's because they do stuff to make me crazy. Well, this post is no different! This is classic Colton! It's 6:20pm and things were starting to settle down around here. The girls had been in the shower, and Colton was getting ready to get in. Dinner was over, and the dished were don. Landon and I were sitting on the couch watching the news and the phone rings. I answer, and it's Colton's band leader wondering if Colton was planning on coming to the band concert tonight??? I say "I didn't know there was a band concert tonight!" He says, "yep, I sent home a flyer a couple of weeks ago about it, and Colton definitely knew". So I calmly ask, "What time does it start, and where is it?"

It started at 7pm, at a high school that was about 25 minutes from my house. My girls both had wet hair, and were in pj's. So I go screaming upstairs asking Colton what the heck??? He claims he forgot, and never got the flyer. I tell him to get ready we're leaving. I have the girls throw on some clothes and a hat. When Colton comes down the stairs, he's wearing some quicksilver t-shirt and jeans. Landon asks him if he's not suppose to be in something a little nicer, and he claims that no one told him anything! Landon makes him at least put on a button up shirt, and away we go.

We made it on time, barely. Colton was the only kid not wearing a white shirt and black pants. So embarrassing! However, he did a great job on the drums. And his band leader came up to us 2 different times to tell us how well Colton is doing this year, and how glad he is that he's in band. That took a little bit of the edge off of how we were feeling.

That's the kind of stuff Colton use to pull on us all the time, but hasn't done is quite a while. I definitely like the new and improved Colton better!
