A Family Drama :: Literally...

One more thing about Noah's 6th grade graduation and then I promise I will move on....I had this idea to celebrate his elementary career with skits from Kindergarten thru 6th. We have some family famous moments that we talk about from time to time and I even went back thru the blog to pull some funny moments. Lucas played Noah for grades K-2, Eli was 3rd & 4th with Autumn 5th & 6th. The kids and I came up with our favorite memories and put it together in one evening while Noah was at a Royals game with Scott. The Royals game was his actual gift and I won dug out seats from the KC Biz Journal and the boys enjoyed the seats very much! They were so close they could hear the players....so while he was bonding with daddy, we practiced and worked out our skits...

We highlighted things like:

• the first day of school for every grade and how his enthusiasm waned thru the years...

• the time in K when he punched a bully (to protect himself per daddy) and they became friends...

• the conversations that started with K and lasted thru 6th when he just didn't understand why girls were mean to him...

• the year he started learning guitar

• the time he split his lip open, his siblings cried nonstop and I almost passed out in the ER room

• his first rock concert where he fought over a drum stick and won

• his 5th grade heroes project

• his coolness

and many other memorable family moments....

Noah loved it, Daddy couldn't stop laughing and the kids did a great job performing! We decided this will have to be a new 6th grade graduation tradition and might even show up again when they graduate from high school. What better way to show your children you are proud of them than to celebrate who they are and how they got there? Try it! It's awesome! :)
