Dancing girls, Miming and Music

We've been doing our Annual Family Talent show for a few years now. It's one of our favorite family home evenings. And this year wasn't an exception.

The evening started with some lovely fairy dancing from the wee girls...



Sam shared his drawing talent...


He drew an exciting landscape scene with lighting and drama! 

Emmett played one of his favorite songs beautifully on the piano... 


He really enjoyed playing! Which I love.


Weston wowed us with his percussion skills...


He played that catchy song from Shrek and did a fabulous job.

I was a little nutty and tried my hand at miming...


I drove a car, went up stairs and into an elevator. I pulled on a piece of rope,  found a piece of gum, chewed it, blew it up and it popped all over my face.

Yes. I'm a very silly person...


But the kids thought it was funny. And that was the whole point!

Ryan made me laugh with his talent. He likes to give the kids "rides" to bed and they get to pick what kind they want....sack of flour, piggyback, etc. He has all sorts of different kinds and names for them.  So, for his talent he carried the kids however they wanted...


The Forklift


Shoulders


Sack of Flour


More Shoulders (I wish that wasn't blurry!)


This one is called
Reluctant Shoulders
Weston wanted off as soon as possible! He was so worried his dad was going to drop him!


And even I got a ride. I chose a simple piggyback ride.
Maybe I should have gone for The Forklift.
heh heh.


After the show was over, we had treat and watched the show. It's fun for the kids to get to see themselves perform. The night was full of lots and lots of laughing and clapping.
