The Cutest Puppet Show on Earth

Two posts in one week let alone in the same month!! Can you beleive it? Neither can I.

Abbie's first grade class put on a series of puppet shows yesterday for all of the parents. It was one of the cutest things I have every seen (I may be slightly biased because Abbie was one of the stars). Each kid in the class had to make a specific character puppet for the story in their show. Abbie was one of the three little pigs. Unfortunately she played the pig that had no common sense and made her house of straw. Oh well, at least the puppet was dressed well! And each kid also had a speaking part of a different character so Abbie played the voice of the puppet Christopher Robbin. So cute and so fun! Below are pictures of all of the puppets that were made with special emphasis on our star puppet...








After the puppet show, we went back to the classroom and watched a video of the kids of their first grade year. Talk about a boob!! I was getting all choked up and teary-eyed over a picture slide show. I didn't know Shirlee's genes leaked over by marriage! It was really fun to see all of the things Abbie has done this year and how much she has grown. I knew once we reached elementary school life would just fly by.

In other news, Happy Birthday to Blake yesterday!! I love you and I'm totally glad you were born!

Skool Days



I just had to add pictures of Abbie's first grade performance. They have been working the entire year and put on the program in front of the entire school. It was fun to have the kids teach us all about Australia. Abbie played the part of a kangaroo and did a dance with her class. There are pictures below. It's been so much fun to watch Abbie get into school full time. I'm sad that time goes by too fast but we're having a blast with her. This week her class is putting on a puppet show for all of the parents. I can't wait to post pictures of the pig puppet we made. She is one of the three little pigs as well as the voice of Christopher Robbin for the Whinnie the Poo puppet show. If I can get some video, I will post it!
