~LuKey's HairCut!~

We finally did it....Luke got a haircut. I guess it is a long time coming. Of the three of my kids, and in fact more than any other little kid I have known, Luke's head SWEATS! So...before summer hit, I figured we better cut the poor little kid's hair. We started gradual with a nice messy bob. In a month or so, both Luke and Jake will be sporting a SpiKe! He was first in the chair but then decided that getting your hair cut was "BAD!" Lys decided to show him how to do it and she proceeded to get TEN inches chopped off her hair. She willingly donated it to "Locks of Love." How exciting! Lys LOVES her new haircut. Ali did a GREAT job. Luke was next and after a small bribery of a NEW Transformer, he was ever so willing to sit in the chair. While chomping the 5 pieces of gum he snuck from Ali, little Luke got his first hair-do.

~Anansi~

Allysa had the opportunity to perform in another school play this year. She was one of four narrarators in a play called "Anansi." It was a fun play about African Folk Tales. I think the kids learned a lot and they also had a lot of fun. Her two cousins Sage and Kat were also in it. Allysa is always fun to watch. We are so proud of her and all of her many accomplishments!

~Dance Competition~

The weekend of May 2nd, Allysa performed in a dance competition at Lagoon. Trevor and I, Lys, Kat, Jake, and Tag all headed down to watch along with taking in a day of exciting rides. However, it was raining CATS and DOGS! We bagged it and headed to lunch and then to the mall. We are driving South tomorrow to re-use our tickets and enjoy a fun-filled day at Lagoon. Wish us luck! BTW...Lys's class got 2nd place! Sadly...this is the best picture of Lys on stage that I got.
