Programs are MY FAVORITE

I spent most of the morning helping to decorate for Isaac's Christmas program which was tonight at Greenwood Park. This program is especially tough for the teachers (believe me, I know from exPERience) because all the kids have speaking parts. When the speaking parts came home, I was thinking to myself..how on earth will I get Isaac to learn this? I then decided BRIBERY would most likely persuade him =). Isaac is obsessed with LEGO's so I told him he could have a new LEGO if he learned his part. He learned it that day, and said it perfectly tonight at his program. YEAH ISAAC!!!

I knew giving Isaac a bell would definitely be interesting. I like how he's staring at it in this picture...wonder what's going through that little noggin of his???

Thought 1: this bell makes the perfect monocle.

Thought 2: I can even wrap it around my nose.

Thought 3: look, it makes a great ornament for my ear.

I didn't get pictures of thoughts 4-20, but that bell certainly saw lots of action in those few minutes. Ms. Denise came up to me afterwards, and said, "What did Isaac have for dinner tonight?" I told her to go ask Matt. Matt decided it would be a good idea to give Isaac three powdered donuts around 4:00 this afternoon. Isaac has always been my HIGH energy child. He usually gets his 2nd wind around 4 p.m. each day, and I'm sure the powdered donut snack was just the boost he needed for the Christmas show tonight.

Karson had her Christmas performance last Thursday night titled "A Place in the Christmas Choir". Long story short, it was about a dog who's howling/singing was so awful that he couldn't be in the Christmas choir and how all the animals and Ms. Claus rallied around him. It was super cute. Karson was a bluebird and sang her little heart out. Maybe you can spot her on the risers wearing a long blue sweater?

My beautiful bluebird!!!

A couple of hooligans they let in at Plano that night.
