U8 Boys 1st Division Champs!!!

1st grade MOOsical

A few weeks ago, 1st grade had a Mooosical.  They kids all sort of dressed up as barn animals and sang barn songs.  Luke's class dressed as cows.  This was the first time Dodson had a concert in the evening for 1st graders.  Luke was NOT excited about it.  We told him the teachers said it would only be about 20 minutes and he said that it would probably be 2 hours and it would be too hot and it would be boring!  He ended up having an okay time.  He didn't want to sign up for a solo or speaking part.  He begged us to let him stay home for this.  He didn't really sing much.  How he looks in this picture above is pretty much what he looked like the whole time.

But it wasn't all that bad.  Afterwards we took him to Menchie's and he said the concert was fine.

He wasn't crying.  This picture just looks like it.  

A new friend

Leah and Juliet got a new baby brother, Theodore!  He's a very agreeable baby.  We were very excited to meet him.  

While their parents were in the hospital when Theodore was born, Leah and Juliet spent the night.  The kids had a fun time playing together.  We pulled out the bed on the couch and they all slept downstairs together. 

A few weeks later, the kids played together and wore "derby" hats while we watched the Kentucky Derby.  We all put in our bets and Luke won!  Part of his winnings was postage stamps because that's all Katherine had.  He was quick to trade them in for some cash at his earliest opportunity though.

Build a Bears

These pictures are from a few weeks ago.  Anna and Luke love their Build a Bears.  They like to have parties with them together and get them dressed up nicely.  

They looked especially nice this day so they got a picture.  I like Pumpkin's roller skates and Sia's robe and glasses.
