Cale had his school program



Cale had his first grade school music program last Thursday.  I'm never excited to go.  It usually involves a crowded viewing area, lots of traffic all looking for the closet spot and standard, hard to understand (because of acoustics) kid songs.  This year did not disappoint.  The first graders sang songs about winter, penguins and snow.  They all had to wear black and white-thank goodness I was able to find the 1 pair of black dress pants we own that Cale wore with a white tshirt.  They did a good job singing together and doing their little hand motions.  Our other kids made it through the program, too.  Marcus and Ewan got to record some of it with our video recorder.  Liam danced around for a while and then complained that he wanted his blankie-it was time to go.  Kella sat in Andy's lap and got her fill of people watching.  I worked on trying to take the perfect picture with my camera and finally got some good ones after about 8 tries.  Cale is in the back and center of each of the top 2 pictures-it's kind of like a "where's waldo" shot.  The last one shows the entire first grade.  It also gives you an idea of how far back we sat.  We took the seats in the last row with room for our stroller-a perfect spot for our kids to all move around without bothering the "serious" program-goers.
