Given a choice, our boys would rather have a P.E. day than a music day. But when it came time for their music programs, I admit they were pretty excited. So was I. :) After months of listening to them sing their songs around the house, I was anxious to see it all come together on stage.
Aaron's program, "The Granny Awards," came first. Filled with songs centered around children's fairy tales, Aaron's featured song was "Shoe-Shoe Sha-Boogie." Other favorites were from Jack and the Beanstalk, Snow White, and Big Bad Wolf. Aaron wanted this program to be a surprise for us, so he didn't sing his songs at home like his brothers did. In fact, he sang their songs at home. :) Watching him on stage made me smile. Kindergartners are so cute, and he's our last cute kindergartner!
Braylen and Kaleb's program, "That's Entertainment," came next. 16 TV programs were featured, and it really was a trip down memory lane. It's a funny feeling to watch our kids sing songs from TV shows we loved at their age! Kaleb was Pugsley Addams from The Addams Family, while Braylen was Fred Flintstone. The props for this program were amazing! The Minnow ship from "Gilligan's Island," the car from "The Beverly Hillbillies," and a motorcycle for Fonzie from "Happy Days," to name a few. Other shows we really liked were "The Brady Bunch," "Full House," and "Saved By the Bell." I think our boys' favorite was "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air." The kids know the words to all of these theme songs better than we do, and yet we're the ones who watched those shows. :)
Braylen let out a "yabba-dabba-do" back stage before shuffling out in this car. Later he told me he stepped on Wilma's foot. Good thing they were barefoot I guess! :) Braylen also had a speaking part, introducing "Mister Ed."
This was a night of firsts (for Aaron) and of lasts (for Braylen.) We were thankful to have Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Pam and cousin A join us for these musicals. And I took plenty of video so my parents can watch it too. :)
