The Past Month (or so) in Pictures

In no particular order...

The boys were in their biannual play- this one was called "The Slingshot Heard 'Round the World" based on the story of David and Goliath and was Sully's last official play for Kids Klub. He'll go back next year as a helper and may get a role here or there if they have a role for someone older. He played one of Goliath's brothers... Go-Rilla... and yes, that's him in the full beard. The first photo includes one of his favorite friends also playing one of Goliath's brothers who's character's name was Go-Fish. The photos following include his "big number"... a swing dance with a girl!!!










Here he is singing at Relay for Life. His chorus teacher is a cancer survivor and the kids were there to take the survivor lap with her.




We've had quite a few interesting backyard happenings-
A cardinal keeps visiting our porch- I think he finds it a good place for a meal... I just hope Duke doesn't get wind of it or the cardinal may BE a meal!



This season wasn't quite as good for tomatoes as last but we did get a few. I should have tried this one on e-bay... too bad it's so far after Valentine's Day.




Another visitor was this tiny frog. Nathan was very adamant that I put these photos on the blog, especially since we'd posted the photos of the toad last year.






And the last visitor photo, this one came to our garden... a black racer heading out- he was fast and the dog was barking ferociously and I almost didn't get his picture at all.




During my mom's visit, we discovered that Sully is taller than Grandma ... well, we already knew he's be taller since he's taller than I am and she's about my height but this was the first time she'd had to look up to him.



Nathan was also in the play but was one of the Israelites... he was a good guy. On opening night the lights failed, the mikes failed and several other problems presented themselves but the kids, in true professional form, did an outstanding job overcoming the obstacles. Nathan was down on one side of the stage in the shadows when it came time for him to say his line. Without microphone OR spotlight, he belted it out clearly for everyone to hear. I also got some good shots of him singing and dancing when he WAS in the light.







This is what happens when you stay up all night with your friends and can't stay awake... Your mother will take a picture of you crashed out on the floor and post it on her blog. (A leftover from the day after the birthday party)



Nathan received his tiger badge and was very proud.






The first photo in this group almost deserves its own post titles "Don't they know that the terrible face pics make the best blog posts?" These are the pictures he looks back on and regrets... maybe by the time he's 30 he will learn NOT to make faces at the camera.
The boys are receiving a certificate for finishing the semester of co-op classes.



One of Sully's classes was a cooking class and here he is presenting the cookies that they'd made for the end of semester picnic. YUM!!



Nathan's Karate class did some demonstrations- this is called "scratching tiger"... okay maybe it's not called that but he's asleep right now and I can't ask him what it's really called.



And here he is in cupstacking fury... that was a fun class!




Since I've been neglecting even getting these into the computer... much less posting on the blog... I decided to go ahead and bombard a single post with WAY too many photos- thanks for plodding through them all. I aim to be better over the summer... Unless of course, I'm not.
