Marathon Post

Because these last few weeks have felt like a marathon—lots of good stuff happening…. Normally I don’t include all of our events because, well, I would be posting a lot because with all these kiddos we just have a lot of stuff going on. However, I just decided it might be fun to include it all this time. So, here it goes…

Angie had “Wax Museum” last week. Each student picks a person in history to write a report on and then become that person and present in a “museum” their life. She was Mary Todd Lincoln—what a fascinating lady she was! And also very tragic.

We saw many other historical wax figures that night—it was really interesting.

Luckily my sister Mel was in town and she did Angie’s hair for the big night—it looked so beautiful she could have gone to the prom…in six years of course!

This is just a cute shot of my other sister Becky with the little ones before we all went to Wax Museum.

Then Logan had his cottage fair this week—they did a musical presentation on..you guessed it…America! Very well done and so nice to see teaching in schools of so many patriotic songs—even the armed forces ones!

The same night of Logan’s cottage fair we went to Sunny’s. In fact, our whole family performed together in it. Alas, I have no pictures of that because my mom took them on her camera and I haven’t gotten them yet. We did a skit about the horny toad and Logan was the horny toad—it was fun, especially the part where Logan squirted fake blood from his eyes to show the special ways a horny toad defends itself. You will just have to imagine the pictures of that one!

Another pic of Logan’s show:

This last Saturday Sunny and Angie performed in Calvacade. This is a special concert where hundreds of students perform—they have twenty pianos on the stage and all the students play at the same time with their different levels. This year they had a special guest—Jon Schmidt. He is a famous piano composer and performer and he was AWESOME.

The pictures are at the practice before the show—I don’t really know why he does the “hang loose” sign, but he is still a great piano player nonetheless.:)

And the school also had a sock hop this last weekend on Friday night—none of us won the hoola hoop contest, but at least they had cake.
