Crazy Start


This week is the Festival of the Arts in 100 Mile House. Schools and individuals participate in many different categories from Music to Acting, Readers Theatre (reading the script on stage) to Reciting Poetry. My kids have never been fond of doing this because its on stage and in front of quite a few people. 

Yesterday I went to Taylers performance - it was so cute. Kindergarten to grade 3 two poems one really short the other quite long. They did the long one first - I love reading Books. Little Cameron (kindergartner) was hilarious - WAY louder that the other kids and very animated, Tayler yawned right in the middle of the poem (and she was centre stage). Kathleen yawned also. They were not completely in sync and some couldn't remember the verse they were on. BUT cute - it was adorable and so innocent. It was great!

This morning Dylan and Russells class had their performances. To start the morning neither one was in a hurry to get out of bed, so started the hysterical Mommy! Then Dylan decided he wasn't going - keep in mind he has a major roll and has been just fine up until now. They were both supposed to wear black pants no holes  (good luck) and white shirts (once again good luck!!) I ran around this morning sewed in a waist band for Russell and found a decent shirt, I found Dylan a pair of black rugby pants (2 sizes too big but a belt will work and a T-shirt that could be turned around. So far all is good, but now Dylan hates his pants and will NOT wear them. So, after asking 4 times and doing alot of reasoning in between the yelling, we finally got to the school. I explained about how they felt (especially Dylan as there were many tears) and left Mrs.T to try reason with Dylan.

Well whatever she did it worked, both performances were awesome - all the kids (including mine) spoke clear and loud, and looked up from their scripts as they were talking - they did amazing! I think this calls for a treat after dinner and alot of hugs for the hysterically Mommy behavior.
