First Day of School

Colby - 4th grade, great report!
Taylor - 2nd grade, not very happy when she came home but they had to sit out in the heat for 40 minutes because of the ridiculous parent pick up line and I think that contributed.
Halle - Kindergarten, no problems... and she went to bed early tonight!
Avalyn - wanted to wear her backpack too... we tried the YMCA today... she lasted 20 minutes:)

The BIG Kindergartner!

And mom.... has forgotten what to do with only one child at home and no set daily schedule. Avalyn & I didn't know what to do with ourselves today!

Colby's in Tights Video

One of the fun things about moving where I grew up is being able to be a part of the fun things those I grew up with are doing now. One friend from high school owns her own theatre and Colby was so lucky to be a part of one of their awesome musical theatre camps.
In one week, these kids - many who had never been on a stage or play before - learned lines, songs, and dances for a 40 minute musical theatre. Impressive!!!

Colby was Little John in Robin Hood. He was supposed to say things backwards and they played a blooper noise every time he messed up. He LOVED being the comic relief. He thought the whole experience was super fun which is amazing because even as an adult, that would be pretty tough for me to get up on that stage!

Here is a short video of a couple of my favorite parts - dancing and singing to "Men in Tights" and a scene where they stop some girls in the woods, try to steal their gold, and then the girls convivnce Little John that after he steals their gold, they will become poor which makes them the prime candidate to receive the stolen gold according to the merry men's motto to rob from the rich and give to the poor. Enjoy:)

If your kids are interested in theatre, the Queen Theatre has auditions coming up soon for Treasure Island.
