Keep CALM

Nathan's first grade field trip to CALM was yesterday. They didn't get a ton of  time there, but they had a really good time.

Hayden, Gage and Nathan were my group

The Wizard of Oz

The kids have been working hard since January rehearsing for The Wizard Of Oz.
Here are some pictures from the performances this last weekend. Nathan said he had a really good time, but when asked today if he was going to do the next one he said no, maybe never again.

Nathan's costume and make-up. He's hunched over acting like a monkey

They have this tradition at Junior Theater, a gypsy robe. It's a robe they give to a deserving actor or actress, that person puts something personal from the show and opening night of the next show they pass it along to the next deserving actor. Teresa was so shocked and excited to get the robe this show. Part of the reason was because she was tech supervisor, basically she makes sure all the props and sets get on in the right order.

Teresa in her gypsy robes, there were two this time.
(Sometimes they run two shows at a time)

Teresa in her salon girl costume and her good friend Alex.
Alex was the stage manager for the show

It was difficult to get a good pictures of them.
They were moving the whole time

Nathan is sitting in a container full of stuffed animals,
then he buried himself with more(we're trying to clean out Teresa's room)

Cookies I made for a daddy daughter dance at Nathan's school

Teresa shares everything with her cat, whether she likes it or not

Some of the twins from "Twin Day" at Nathan's school.
I think it's hilarious that they all look like actual
twins in regard to height and hair. The girls actually are.

Gage and Nathan as "twins"

The "Clue" cake I made for my dad's birthday. This cake took me SO long to make

Jump Rope for heart at Rosedale North

Go Nathan!
I have a great video of him doing the cupid shuffle, it's So cute to watch
7 year olds do that dance

Valentine's Day in First Grade

Some pictures from Nathan's class on Valentine's Day

Cupcakes Nathan and I made for his class. Jonathan made me a
little heart cutter with our new 3D printer.

I love how festive they all looked

And just because it's funny, here is Jazzy sleeping in a container with
a stuffed enderman(Minecraft monster)

Family Cruise - Sunday

Sunday we were off the ship before 8am. We had rented a car to explore Miami a bit.

Packed and ready to go, we managed to get all of our stuff, plus our
souvenirs home in less luggage than we came with
