carnival

Michael's school held its annual Carnival fundraiser last Friday night. The kindergarten classes performed a dance to some Brazilian music. Jeff was concerned when he dropped Michael off in his classroom before the performance, because he started to have a breakdown. Fortunately, one of his teachers seemed to recognize it and she took him and helped him through it. We were thrilled to see that he was happy and that he did what he was supposed to during the performance. I have a video of part of the performance, but I'm having a hard time getting it loaded. So here's a photo. It's like playing "Where's Waldo?" Can you spot Michael in the crowd of other 5-year-olds wearing blue jeans and white shirts?
The rest of the carnival was a lot of fun too. The kids had a great time buying glow in the dark bracelets and tattoos, and doing other activities like a fish pond, bowling, decorating paper bags, and throwing a ping pong ball into a cup for prizes. Jeff and I had a good time eating tacos from Sonora Grill. Oh. My. Goodness. They are yummy. The only real downside to the evening was that we forgot to bring the stroller for Lauren, and she's getting pretty heavy to lug around on my hip all night.
