Drama and Legos

We had a pretty busy weekend.  Allen had his last curling event of the spring.  Saturday morning the boys and went to a drama workshop that was held partly to promote the upcoming production of "Mary Poppins" that the local high school is putting on.  One of his friends from the play is going to be in it - one of just a few middle schoolers who gets to participate.  Liam was feeling shy when we arrived but he jumped right into the action when he saw his friend.


 They did improvised skits where they were statues in the park that came to life.  Liam was feeding a group of...rabbits (?) that followed him when they came to life.  Other groups played out their scenarios at the same time.
 They learned some of the choreography from "super-cala-fraga-listic-expe-ala-docious."
 I guess the live production has something to do with cookies shaped like stars, so they decorated some.
 Pretending to fly kites.

After the workshop Liam went over to a friend's house.  I went home and took a nap with the baby.  The report is that they went to the park.  Liam was disappointed that he didn't get more screen time since this friend has a WII game system.











Today after church we went to Wendy's for lunch with some friends.  I finally got some pictures of Devin in a restaurant high chair.


 Right after that we went to the library for another Legopalooza.  Devin needed to nurse so Liam decided he could handle playing on his own (Allen needed to work on taxes.)
 He likes to document his creations.
From every angle.
 Devin was too distracted to nurse much so he got into the block playing action.
 He seemed to have an idea of what the blocks were for.
 Liam was pretty excited by this.  Although when he realized that Devin couldn't actually put blocks together....
...he went back t big kid play.
 Like his brother before him Devin has a long attention span.
 One last creation.
