The highlight of my day was definitely watching Josh, Mira and Evelyn preform the movie, "Tangled" in our living room. Mira had a blanket draped over her head and down her back to represent her long, long hair. Joshua was the narrator and Flynn Rider and had a cleaning stick used for a recorder as his sword. Evelyn was Mother Gothel. They had been playing and acting out the scenes for a while this evening when I suggested they perform for me. They loved that idea and Josh set up the scene which included a tower for Rapunzel that doubled as the kingdom's castle.
Josh, of course, recited exact lines from the movie. He has an amazing memory for those kinds of things. Evelyn terrorized the set and Mira provided songs, of her own creation.
Today, was a really great day. The girls behaved while we took the van in for a detail and they watched the movie, "Tangled" while we waited. Mira ate a FANTASTIC dinner and told me how delicious it was. Evelyn ran her fingers through my hair several times and remarked how much she liked my hair. I LOVE that! Josh had a green day at school AND received an 'Ovation' in music class for being an outstanding music citizen. He also sang, "America" in school today for the Patriot Program tester (his buddy Kyle's mom). I am pretty sure he did this by himself which is a remarkable feat in and of itself. But, he is singing it at home too and does a beautiful job.
We are reading the book, 'Tumtum and Nutmeg' and the kids are enjoying it. Josh read another 10 min for his BookIt program so that this week he already has 55 min of reading time logged.
