Too cute; Growing ugly

Kaylynn's class had an "informance" during music class last week and it was absolutely adorable! They got to wear pajamas to school to perform in and they all looked so cute. They performed for almost 40 minutes straight and they had a lot of hand motions memorized as well. Their music teacher sat behind them and played keyboard so they really had to have it memorized because they were not getting cues from her. One of the cutest parts was when they made their "rap circle" and all the kids got a chance to go to the middle and do a little "performance" of whatever they wanted while we all clapped and cheered! The music teacher likes to do this to get them to come out of their shell and feel comfortable in front of their peers. Kaylynn is pretty shy, but she did it! Now I know why Kaylynn always says music is her favorite special!
Can't you just hear them singing?!And, of course, an update on the chicks (the ugly part of this post!). Wow, have they grown! They still like to perch on Kaylynn, though (especially Daisy). We plan to keep them until Easter and then they will head to their permanent home.

The Adventures of Flat Stanley

Kaylynn had spring break this week. The kids are reading the book "The Adventures of Flat Stanley" in school and are going to see the play for a field trip so we had to have some of our own adventures with Flat Stanley this week. We didn't have any big activities planned, but we came up with a few fun things to do along the way.

On Monday we took Flat Stanley skiing with us. Kaylynn said he really liked the snow (it was a great powder day)!
On Tuesday, Kaylynn had a small cavity filled so Flat Stanley joined her. I don't think he liked that trip as well, but he survived just fine!
Kaylynn went to camp at the YMCA on Wed-Fri, so no big adventures on those days, though Friday evening Flat Stanley met the chicks and played with them. They are sure getting big!
The chicks really love to perch on Kaylynn (they just peck at me)!
On Saturday, Kaylynn took Flat Stanley fishing. She had a really great time.

I had to keep busy, so I took pictures of my cute daughter and the wildlife around!
Kaylynn also thought it was fun to stick the worm in my face every time she grabbed one!
Kaylynn even caught one fish! She hooked three others but lost them just before we got them to shore.
He made a great 30 second dinner for Kaylynn - she said he was good!
So, even though it wasn't Disney World, it was still fun to go on a few adventures with Flat Stanley!
