Laurelin on her first day of school; "Dave" the feather duster worm in his first dramatic role.

Laurelin had her first dance performance. The mother-daughter bellydance class we were taking performed at Halima’s MiniFest. We didn’t get pictures because we were videotaping instead, but she was great and we all had a good time. My class that I take with Viktoriya also danced that night, which also went well. We also danced at a small festival in Payson yesterday, and I did a solo. We’ll put up some pics of the group that we took after the performance.
We had a combined birthday party on Wednesday for Isaac and Ammon. We did a Narnia theme. They battled the army of the White Witch and had tea with Mr. Tumnus. Isaac said it was “awesome”. On Thursday (his actual birthday) we took the kids to see Prince Caspian, which he also loved.
Gwen this morning did a puppet show with popsicle stick puppets of a bear and a cat that Rus had made for her. She started telling a story like this, “Once upon a time there was a beah and a yeowe who were going bye-bye to buy apples”…hee hee hee
Xander is settling into school at home a bit better and doing better at getting his work done. He started his art lessons, which he enjoys.
