Last week the 5th graders at Whitney's school presented a wax museum full of famous people. Whitney was Wilma Rudolph, so she didn't have much of stretch in the costume-department.

Each of the kids made a button for us to push in order to bring them to life (this was probably Whitney's favorite part of the project).

Randy ended up helping her a lot with this last-minute poster. I kept telling her how lucky she was that he was willing to help her, because I was pretty mad that she'd left so much of the work to the last minute when she'd had the entire week of Spring Break to get it done!! Serenity now!

Last Wednesday and Thursday evenings were pretty big for Landon because he tried out for the Freshman Football Team for next year!! He has only ever played flag-football, so this is a huge jump for him (and our family really). I was so nervous for him. When we got in the car to go to try outs I said, "Should we say a prayer?" and he said, "yes." So I said a little prayer which helped calm us both down.

2 hours later he came to the car and gave 2 thumbs up! We found out today that he is on the B team, so even though that's not the main team for the school it is a great opportunity to play football with lots of kids from school. Woohoo!

Another thing about this boy is how responsible he is. He had a scout campout on Friday afternoon at 4:00, and this is how I found him when Whitney and I got home at 3:45. He was all packed, dressed and ready to go!
