KALLI

This last year Kalli has had the chance to get to perform in three different plays. She was a "Pretty Lady" in a Western play that the Drama Club did. She had several speaking parts for this one and did a great job.
Then her fourth grade class was studing Lewis and Clark so they each had to write a 20 page typed play. The teacher picked three of them for the class to perform. She was cast as Clark in Act one of the play and again had several parts to learn. It was really fun to get to see their interpretation of Lewis and Clark and the experiences that they had.

And then, (my favorite of the three) her GATE class put on Jungle Book and performed at five schools and once for parents. She was a prickly pear for some of the time and a monkey for some of the time.

This one was a musical and they got to do a lot of dancing and singing. She did AWESOME! To see her come out of her comfort zone a little bit and have a fun time while doing so has been really fun to see.

HAIRCUT!

BEFORE
So I finally got the nerve up to take Dreyken in for her first haircut! I was super worried that she would have a melt down at the salon, but she did so good. I had not ever cut her hair and it she was starting to look a little crazy :) I forgot to take my camara with me so the pictures had to be taken on my phone, but she was so proud of her new hair-do! She informed Kalli and Dan as soon as they got home that she got a hair cut and would show them how to cut with her fingers for sissors. I do have to say that it turned out super cute it really brought her curl back out.


AFTER

PORTA PIGGY!

A few weeks ago there was a contest at a bank here in Idaho Falls for 3-4 graders. They were to make a piggy bank and bring it in to the local branch. The only rules were that somewhere you had to have a slot to put money in; and you were to have only minimal parental help. Kalli decided that she wanted to make one, so her and her Dad got busy cutting and painting. The final product----
A Porta Piggy (the picture doesn't show, but the slot for the money is the toilet hole inside.) A week after dropping off the bank Kalli got a call --- She one first prize which was a trophy and a $100 savings bond! She was super excited and really had worked hard on her bank.

And just for fun I thought I would throw on this video of Dreyken and Tarek playing with some goop he bought. ENJOY!
