Would you like to dance with me? - Play by Avalon and Archer

Avalon and Archer wrote, directed, made the props and starred in their first play!  It was really delightful!!  Take a look...I definitely want the soundtrack! :)  I love our kids perception of life right now...dance, fall in love, propose, kiss, wedding, treats, happiness, buy an ipad, buy a phone, and live happily ever after!  So Sweet!

You also get a behind the scenes look at what happens at intermission!





We also received tickets/programs to the play and autographs afterward!  It was lots of fun!!

Space Legos

Avalon bought the large space shuttle with money she received for Christmas and she built the entire shuttle in two days!  Pretty awesome!!

Wacky Wednesday

In celebration of Dr. Suess's birthday, Archer's class had Wacky Wednesday on March 1st!  Archer usually doesn't really get into dressing up, but he had fun with this one!

Archer - Movie night

While Avalon was at her first sleepover, Archer had a movie night with a good friend while mom and dad played games upstairs!



They were still going strong about 9:00 pm!  Well maybe they were getting tired!

Avalon's first sleepover

Avalon attended her first sleepover birthday party in March and she had a blast!!  The next day when I asked her about the party, she said the only part she didn't like was that they wouldn't turn the lights out until 9:15 pm!  Apparently she asked to turn the lights out at 8:45 pm.  She also asked for a clock in case she woke up, she wanted to know if it was time to get up yet.  At home, she knows that she cannot get up until her clock says 7:00.  Avalon did have a really busy day with a piano recital and another birthday party at Success gymnastics, so I guess she was pretty tired by the end of the day!



She was still looking pretty good the next morning!

Archer's books

Archer has been really into writing books this year!  He wrote several books at the beginning of Kindergarten where he would color the picture and then ask Mom or Dad to write the words!   And now he has really gotten into it again and he is writing the words himself!  He brought home 3 books he wrote and illustrated this week!  Here is one of them!  In Kindergarten, they encourage the kids to spell words phonetically by sounding them out, so I have also added a translation of what he wrote!  Avalon was also really into writing books in Kindergarten!  Kudos to their teacher for getting them into it!  She really sparked an interest in both of them!  I will try to locate one of Avalon's kindergarten books as well to post in the future!
