Happy weekend

I welcomed Pedar home from Sierra Outdoor School with mojitos and rice crispy treats and a chicken dinner. We had a great evening in the backyard. The weather this week has been perfect!

Casey auditioned yesterday for the school talent show. Pedar walked him over in the morning and spoke to the teacher coordinating the auditions and she asked Casey iif he would want to audition after lunch recess. He said yes! He was the only person in his class that auditioned yesterday. He said there were four judges sitting in chairs. They asked him his name and grade and what he was going to do. He said beatbox. They smiled, but he said when he started they really smiled! At the end, they applauded briefly and then said," That was very good, Casey! You're in!" Casey was so happy!

Later that afternoon I called Casey on my way home and I told him how proud I was of him and he said,"I'm proud of myself Mom! I was nervous but I did it and I was good!" 

Cue the leaking!! I cannot wait for the last day of school. My darn jury duty better be over because I cannot miss this talent show!!

Sierra Outdoor School

Casey and Pedar had a terrific time at Sierra Outdoor School. They learned about the ecological process. They visited Calaveras Big Trees and Mercer Cavern. They saw some of the largest living trees on earth. They learned about raptors and taking care of the earth. Casey said it felt like an awesome two-night sleepover with friends--so did Pedar, wink wink! Everyone was asleep last night really early.








This was the silent mile. I bet the parents loved this hike the most!






Super fun camp leaders!

Skit night!








Casey slept on the top bunk and Pedar slept underneath!


Limbo time!

Erik's dance performance at Village Montessori

Erik had his dance performance tonight at Village Montessori. He performed so well. He wasn't nervous at all. Miss Nicole does such a fantastic choreography job. The kids all had a fantastic time and LOVED dancing. I love that Casey and Erik have both taken dance at Village. Erik is about to begin swim lessons again and he is so excited!
