Although it continues to rain and rain and rain...we have been finding ways to enjoy our spring. Austin participated in the 3rd grade music concert at school. They are in the middle of a unit on Africa. They tie-dyed shirts a week before and wore them for the concert. Austin surprised us by having a special part for the song "The Lion Sleeps Tonight". He was one of the lions prowling the stage, chasing other "animals" during the song. The whole class tried out to be lions and only 2 students were chosen. It was nice to see him enjoy having a "stand out" part. He has usually shown himself to one of those kids who prefers to just blend in with the crowd.
This is our friend Jacob who is also in 3rd grade at the same school, and attends our church. All of the 3rd grade classes got to be part of a drum chant to open the concert.
I got to volunteer in Austin's class and help them with this mask/art project. During the 2 hours I was there they only completed the eyes, nose, and eyebrows. This was a very involved project but it turned out really cool!
Austin and his teacher after the concert.
Ezra and I made coffee filter butterflies that are now hanging in the window to cheer us.
The boys have been entertaining themselves by loading the couch with all the pillows and blankets they can find. The hang out up there and of course bring their guns and shoot any bad guys they see outside or indoors. :)
My dad bought the boys Tigers hats. Austin was sure he needed a good hat like this for baseball practice. Opening day for the Tigers is this week!
Of couse, we had to color Easter eggs.
We are looking forward to celebrating Easter in a week and the chance to celebrate the reason for our hope!
