Oppurtunities
We have been blessed with a lot of opportunities this summer. One of them was a Music/Dance/Theatre performance camp. It was a lot of work, but in the end so much fun. (: Here is a link to some videos.
Noah was in- Itty Bitty Pretty one, Take me out to the ballgame, Whatever Lola wants, and How much is that doggy (part of the 50's medley)
Evie was in-Itty Bitty Pretty one, Take me out to the ballgame
Alayna was in- Fox on the Run, In the Navy, 20's medley
Joseph was in- Fox on the run, Clogging Medley, and 50's Medley
and everyone was in Battle Hymn of the Republic.
Happy viewing. (:

Noahisms
I love all of my children. Some are just too funny for words. Right now it is mostly Noah. Gotta be the age.
At a lake when we were fishing and getting a Lot of algae before we caught fish.
"Mom, look a frog" pointing away from where he was suppose to be looking at the fishing line.
Mom-"No dear that's just algae"
Noah-"Maaawwwwwm, Algae doesn't have Eyes!"
Mom- "oh" sheepishly as she now sees the large frog he is pointing at.
Tonight
Alayna-"Mom, there is a large bug in the bathroom"
Mom-"OK, where is it?" getting a plastic bag ready to squish it
Noah was sitting right in front of it looking at it
Noah-"Don't squish it."
Mom- not noticing the note of panic in son's voice and squishing it while saying "Honey it's an icky bug"
Noah- Eyes wide in disbelief and face starting to contort "IT WAS MY FRIEEEND!!"
Mom-"Oh sweetie, I'm sorry. I didn't know. We'll find you another friend tomorrow."
Noah- Crying real tears "I don't want another friend! He was my friend and you squished him, you KILLED Him!"
Alayna- Trying desperately to help "You know how when you die you go to live with Heavenly Father? Only his body. . .
Noah-getting the gist of where she is going "But his Body was my friend and you killed his body!" Tears are now flowing freely.
Mom- wiping tears and at a loss "Sweetie, that bug was icky. . .
Noah- repetitively "He was my friend!"
Mom- "I really am sorry, we can look tomorrow. .
Alayna- Inspired "What if we found a caterpillar? A fuzzy brown one"
Noah- a bit of a smile showing through the tears "A red one?"
Alayna- "We could look for a red one"
Noah- tears wiped smiling big "OK"
And so Friends are quickly made and quickly forgotten at the tender age of four.
I wish I could save time in a bottle. It is fun to remember but distressing to forget. And yet my current mind is not large enough to hold it all and so yesterdays go to make room for todays and tomorrows.
