How Does Your Garden Grow

Yesterday was the big day!  The first grade play!

I use that term loosely, because, let's face it, they are first graders.  And to include all 100 something of them means most of them are backgrounders.  But still, cute.

Josh was a weed.  From attending the morning performance for the 3rd - 5th graders, you could tell the weeds are the kids favorite role in the play.  Must fulfill their secret longings to be gangsters or something.  Josh wore jeans, a "do" rag, and sunglasses and got to "rap" his song along with his fellow weeds.  I will need to ask him, but it goes something like this, "We're the Weeds, We Rule.  We're the Weeds, We Rock."  That is the chorus, anyway.  There are other words and several verses, but the main point is how awesome weeds are.

When I get my officially sanctioned DVD of the school play (yes, you read that right!) I will see if I can bootleg a clip to post on the blog.

So here are a few pics of my cutie pie weed.  When Jake was in 1st grade they decided not to do the play that year, so I would have thrown in a flashback pic, but no such luck!








Josh and his best buddy, Jacob.




Josh in the middle. From my vantage point this was the absolute best picture I got all day. Sorry.
