Abram's Kindergarten Program - Disney Dazzle

April 7, 2011

Tonight was special because we got the pleasure of watching 250 kindergarteners sing & dance in the ECC Kindergarten Program. Of course, my talented son, Abram, was the shining star of the the show! ;) Actually all of the kids were just precious and did fantastic!  The theme was Disney Dazzle so many disney favorites were highlighted. Abram's class was dressed in tropical/beach clothes for Under the Sea from The Little Mermaid. The other classes were dressed as pirates for Pirates of the Caribbean, princes and princesses for Aladdin and safari explorers for Jungle Book. It was all SuPeR CuTe!!

"Let's Ruin Their Relationship!"

March 13, 2011
A couple of weeks ago my Mom and Dad, who also happen to be our next door neighbors, were having a romantic dinner outside in the cabana.  Abram had gone outside for something and saw them.  He ran in and said "Honeywana & Pops are outside eating dinner!"  I told him that they were having a romantic dinner date and that we should leave them alone.  He says to me, "No, I've got a great idea!  Let's spy on them and make their relationship BAD!!"  It was so funny I couldn't resist!  So I ran in and got my camera, of course!

Here's a pic of the romance - fire in fireplace, white table cloth, candles...  So sweet!  I'm glad my parents are still so in love and make time for romance with each other. :)

 Abram running across the yard to go hide behind Mom & Dad's shed.

 Here he is coming around the other side...

 and running around the back of the "village" or cabana.

 Hiding in the trees.  Of course, my parents have already caught on at this point but played along like they had no clue. ;)  Abram would stop and look at me and laugh as quietly as possible with his hand over his mouth and then say "We're gonna ruin their romance!"

 Here Asher joins in on the fun.  He was asleep when we started spying. 

 Here he is running across the yard.

 Now they are kneeling down behind the bar at the cabana.

 Asher thinking he is so sneaky and funny!

 SURPRISE!!!

Good Sports!

That was FUN!!!

Medders Manor Mondays

Goodness, it's been a while since I've posted!!  And even longer since I've done a Medders Manor Monday post!  But I'm back and ready to do some catching up!

This Monday I'll feature my kids favorite room... The Playroom!!!

 This is a look in from the door.  This is just a fun BOYS room!  This is where the boys watch TV, play wii, play with their toys and hang out with their friends.

 We also have family movie night in this room!!

There are 3 little jerseys in a shadow box above the entertainment center that were Aaron's when he was little.  They are from soccer and t-ball and one of them says The A-Team which is what we are called!!

 Aaron and I made these cornice boards!

 This is where everything gets tucked away out of sight!  The first closet is full of shelves to organize toys, books, games...  And the other closet has a desk with our desktop computer.  A little family office tucked away out of sight!

 The paintings are works of art by Abram (left) and Asher (right).  There are their hand prints, foot prints and their very own abstract masterpiece.  Abram was 3 (a couple of months from turning 4) when these were painted and he said at the time that he was painting a dog, a tree, sun, clouds and many different animal tracks.  Asher was about 20 months old and he just let the creative juices flow! ;)

This is the toy closet before it throws up all over the playroom floor!!! HA! I try to stay organized but my two little tornados will have this destroyed in the blink of an eye!!! ;)
