Zion's Big Scene

Well, part of it, anyway. Zion is the Red Knight in this play; he has a British accent a la Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Sword fighting with light sabers? It was a perfect role for him.

Looking Glass Land

So much fun to see Zion doing something he loves...and he had a lot of support! Between the 2 shows, he had 11 friends/fans come out to see him. The play was cute; I think Zion's got the bug. Enjoy the pictures!

Esther and Isaiah

John and Wendy make beautiful children! Here are some pics of "Zay" and Esther at Zion's play.

Zen's Favorite Things

There is a lot of boy energy going on in this house lately. Zen has decided that in addition to balls being his favorite toys, guns ("nuns", as he calls them) are also high on his list. Zion has plenty of "nuns" to choose from, mostly Star Wars themed. Zen will pop out of various places in the house and threaten to "doot" anyone who goes by. I can't decide whether to laugh or cry about this. Zion didn't have anything even resembling a gun until he was well past 7. Now our 2 year old even wants to sleep with his guns. Here's a short clip.

What We Do When We're Bored Around Here

Zion has been really into making films with his phone, especially now that he can do them in place of a written vocabulary assignment for school. He's done some very creative and funny things; This week, he decided to use his lizards to introduce the vocabulary, and he coaxed me into sewing tiny costumes for them.

Sam grumbled, "you'll sew costumes for reptiles, but you won't iron my shirts?"

I couldn't really think of a good excuse for this except to say, "yes, but making reptile costumes is fun, and ironing isn't."

Anyway, here are some pictures of some efforts. Maybe I should start taking orders...have a little business on the side.
