Hairspray, Anyone?

It is time for the theater. It is time for Hairspray!!! We went to see the show on the first day of Spring Break from school. Everyone got dressed up. Jake wore a tie for the first time. He was quite dashing. The show was great.

International Night



It is International Night at the school. The Middle School Chorus was invited to perform. They sounded beautiful. They sang Stand by Me, Imagine, and Hashuviu. It was fun to see Mrs. Hague in the middle of them.

Do You Remember What You Read As a Child?

Fablehaven, Keys to the Demon Prison is a book written by Brandon Mull. It is actually a s 5 book series, which is a must read at our house including mom. It about the Sphinx - leader of the Society of the Evening Star - is after the final artifacts needed to open the great demon prison. This is the final book in the series. It came out on March 23, 2010. We got 4 copies. Three of them were birthday presents for Sam, Jared and Natalie. We wrapped them up and delivered them to the friends, and then the reading started. Anna was telling Adam, "Hurry up, I want to read it". I remember reading as a child. I wished I had those books now. I have passed on Little House on the Praire series to Anna, plus God, It is me Margaret by Judy Blume. Do you remember what you read as a child?

Jake and The Never Ending Story

In 3rd grade, Jake has to read different genres. It time it has been hard for him. One day, I asked to go get his reading done. He went outside and started reading in the garden. I thought it was so cute with Jack by his side.

Anna, and her gang

I just happened to be on the school campus taking pictures for the yearbook. I had a chance to take a picture of Anna and her friends - Rosie, Sarah, Anna and Talia. I hope they last through High School.

The Last Thing to Do on The Wolf Trail List - Eat a Hot Dog - Yikes

Jake has been working hard to complete his Cub Scout Wolf Trail. He had to plan and cook an outdoor meal. He planned to cook hot dogs, chips and grapes. Good idea to keep it SIMPLE.
Jake is shopping for supplies.
Yummy!!! I love a hot dog on the grill about 2 times a year.
A little help from his friends - DaddyJake is eating his first hot dog ever!!!
