The Lost Sheep according to Gwen

I don't know if they had a lesson on the Parable of the Lost Sheep recently in her church class, or if this just came straight out of her funny mind. Either way it cracked me up.

Gwen: I made up a funny story

Once there was a lot of sheep, and each day it neighed, I mean baaed, and each day one sheep runned off.

Mamma: Uh Oh Where’d it go?

Gwen: You don’t know

Mamma: I don’t know?

Gwen: You don’t want to know

After the sheep runs off one of the horses neighs. And after the horses neigh the chickens cluck. And after the chickens cluck, the crows beat at the scarecrow. And after the crows beat at the scarecrow the farmer goes “Yahoo!” And then the farmer said, “What’s all that noise going off? I’ve had enough of that noise! I wonder why they always do that and why my sheep always get lost!” And one day when he had only one sheep left he goed looking for the other ones, and meanwhile while he goed looking for the other ones, his one last sheep got lost, and it took him 15 years to find his other sheep. And when he got back he found his only one sheep ws gone, and he put lots and lots of cowbells on his other sheep so they wouldn’t get lost while he was looking for his one sheep. And it took him 2 days to find his other sheep. And one night he heard the same things, but except at night. But of course, that was another story.

Isaac's watercolor dragon



Isaac came home from school with a great grin on his face, exclaiming "I get to draw a DRAGON for homework!" He drew and painted it with watercolors. He'll turn it in tomorrow, and after he gets it back, we're planning on framing it. We made a short video of him displaying and describing it:

Laurelin's Springfest 2011 dance

Here is Laurelin's solo from Springfest. She really was the darling of the festival if you'll permit a very proud Mamma to say so. Not a few people came up to her during the rest of the festival to tell her she did a good job. I like how my friend, Kitty (who is the announcer you hear in the video), put it "She was in control of the stage"

Kelly and Rus' drum and dance performance

We hope you enjoy it, even if the sound came out less than optimal...
