Primary Talent Show

Jackson signed up to "sing a song" for the Primary talent show. Of course, we didn't find out until the Primary leaders passed a list around in Relief Society to notify parents of what their children signed up to do, the week of the talent show (which was very smart to do, otherwise a lot of parents would have been clueless, and a lot of kids would have been unprepared). I asked Jackson what he wanted to sing, and he said "shake, shake song." I told him that that probably wasn't a good song to sing, so pick another. He chose "Fireflies" by Owl City. He sings it for his preschool teachers all the time. So we practiced it several times and no matter what, he sang it as a whisper when we practiced. I wasn't expecting much better for the talent show. Jefferson ended up joining him up front to sing. If you listen real close, you can just barely hear them sing along. It was cute because Jackson didn't quite get how to use the microphone and the leaders ended up having hold the mic.

By the way, Jefferson had the words printed out to sing from, but Jackson sang from memory.

Backtracking- St. Patrick's Day!

Jefferson made a Leprechaun trap for his class. The bright circle in the middle is a faux gold coin that when pulled on collapses the stick, therefore "trapping" a leprechaun inside. Unfortunately, the leprechaun saw right through the trap and managed to sneak out unharmed.


We had a "green" dinner. I totally forgot to put green food dye in the egg mix for the Creme Brulee french toast, so I improvised and dripped the food dye onto each slice of bread and then spread it around to make a green clover.
