Boston was a pilgrim in his "Plymouth Plantation play at school. He had one line, "We now live in a new land," and did some running around but that was the extent of it. They practiced for two days after school for 2 hours each time. He was a real trooper. The play was kind of a snoozer if I can be honest but adorable at the same time.
On the same night, Kennedy played the piano for her Jr. high fundraising concert. She has nerves of steal! She did a great job and I was pleasantly surprised at the rest of the talent. Some serious American Idol contestants.
The twins had their friend Price (real name Dean) over to play and see Megamind. If you didn't know any better, you would've thought I had triplets. They all played football across the street.
Here is Jackson with Annica, actually petting a beagle. This is monumental. He has run from teacup Chihuahua's before.
We took the kids out to do a little go karting Friday after Thanksgiving. Kennedy, Meeka and I were to meet the boys after we picked up the pizza. By the time I got on the scene, Jackson announced that "he almost died for the 2nd time!" (The 1st time was this summer when his knees were stuck in the tube, turned upside down) The go kart went ballistic! It accelerated and wouldn't stop and the brakes wouldn't work. Jackson was driving with Leighton in the passenger side, all buckled in. They were spinning in circles and screaming their heads off. Eric had to chase it down and throw his body in front of it. It went up his leg and chewed a hole in his shoe. A major benefit of having some size is that you can stop a moving vehicle.
After the adrenaline wore off, Eric thought maybe he did some damage to his ankle. It's the same one he broke during a football game but I think the plate that's already there saved him.
Don't mind the fuzzy picture. It's the only one I have of Kennedy's rocket she made for science club. She calls it, To Bee or Not to Bee. It received the award for best looking and came in second for height. Grandpa Bateman and her friend Lexi helped her design and engineer it. Thank goodness for Grandpa Bateman and his art skills and endless knowledge of whatever you need to know.
That's the end of our randomness for now.
