Mackenzie & Matea attend an elementary school with a fine arts focus, this means they have lots of cool opportunities to create awesome art work, and do a number of "artist in residence" things every year at school. Attending this particular school also means that ALL the classes take part in the Red Deer Fine Arts Festival. Mack has yawned, bopped, and scratched his way through the last two years.
Back upper left corner...couldn't stand still the ENTIRE time :)
This was Kindergarten
This is Grade One!
He was so excited! He got "dressed up" for the big occasion!
So proud
a tiny bit nervous
and he had been upgraded from "out of the way back corner, to out of the way middle row" Our Mackenzie James was moving up in the fine arts WORLD!!!!
He stared off super strong - hands folded, looking at his teacher
and then a tiny little bit of bopping
trying to focus!
And then cue the big yawns....two minute, apparently this little guy hasn't slept in weeks gigantic man size yawns
And then just last week, Mackenzie James in Grade two
Front and Center!
This picture shows 3 things:
- The school has a stash of plain blue shirts for the grade two's to wear, Mack's shirt looks like an XS.
- he is super stressed about being in middle.
- he blocks the little girl behind him the ENTIRE performance
This is his "Mom! Can you see me in the MIDDLE up here!"
doing great....
Only one gigantic yawn...and it was at the very end so basically doesn't even really count ;)
Hanging out waiting for the judges....he was already bored :)
And Miss. Matea's Kindergarten class
We had a different goal for our sweet girl.
We simply wanted her to tolerate a change in the regular school schedule, a bus ride, and going to the college main stage (a place she has never been before).
She sat with an educational assistant in audience and cheered her friends on.
Next year our girl will hopefully be on stage with the rest of her peers.
And in our eyes, she did great!
