WAW!

This stand for 'What a Week'!

We first found out that the boys did really well in their Reflections Art competition at the district level. In the dancing entry, Billy placed 3rd in the district, and JJ was 2nd in their respective age groups. And get this.....JJ place FIRST in the district (that is all the city and county school combined) for his 'My Menagerie' book! Which means his entry goes onto the state level to compete. We are proud of that accomplishment as a result....but mostly proud of how much work he put into the effort. For his age, he could have drawn the pictures and had someone else type the words....but not our JJ....he wrote every word, and drew every picture in the 13 page book. Now he wants to publish it!

Now to brag on Billy....to try out for the school play this year for a role outside the chorus, everyone had to sing a solo song in front of teachers and other peers trying out for roles. Again, being as proud of the process....we were so glad Billy was brave enough to audition.....but get this, he got one of the roles.....The play is named The Prince and the Penguin, and Billy will STAR as General Patton Penguin!! He is so excited because he is going through a major military phase right now....and hopes he can dress up in camo for the part! Although we do not have the full script yet, Billy will have a number of lines in the play....and likely a few solo snippets!

Mickey and Minnie are not sure where the boys get these artistic talents...but in this case, the apples are falling pretty far from the tree!
