Spring Performances

On Tuesday and Thursday of the last full week of April, Bradley and Gavin had school spring performances.  First up was Bradley on Tuesday night.  You can tell how many times I have done these things and maybe slightly over it because I forgot what they even sang.  Bradley’s theme was just simply ‘spring.’ He had to dress up as a green leafy plant and the girls in his class as flowers.  What I did the day of his performance was borrowed a leaf crown from my friend Angela (her son was a tree in a play before).  I went to Michaels and bought a stem of leaves.  I came home,flipped a green shirt inside out and literally safety pinned the entire stem of leaves to his shirt.  I just did not want him to wear camo.  They said that was an option but camouflage does not scream spring to me. 

Here he is rallying the plants and flowers when it was time to line up to go on stage.

Before that when we dropped him off in his classroom the boys got to see the chicks that had hatched in an incubator in his classroom.  They are so cute.  Baby chicks never get old.

“Oh mom, enough with the pictures already!” He spotted me.

He did really great and it was a pick up and get them out of there situation because the next age group of students were having their concert next.

He did not complain about the outfit and rather enjoyed looking like the ‘green giant’ but he was excited to get that shirt off once home.

On Thursday night, It was Gavin’s turn.  His first performance. I thought he would be super outgoing but he was a little shy. He sang all the songs quietly (how all the 2’s class sang them) and did all the movements but just wasn’t shouting them which I was anticipating may happen.  Mrs. Debbie even said he wanted to hide behind his spider legs.  She tried to move them out of his face but he was being temperamental with her.  Gavin? No way, not him, like EVER!!

 

See the legs, too funny!

Easton loved each and every performance.  He screamed “yay” really loud and clapped for both of his brothers that he even caught lots of attention from the audience himself.  Talk about stealing the show.
