Living Wax Museum

Today was Nate's Living Wax Museum at school. The 4th graders had to read a biography, write a speech and get a costume. Then when the parents walked into the room, all we saw were statues of famous people! It was so awesome. When we walked up to a "wax figure", we would push a button on their desk and the figure would come to life and tell about themselves. It was great! I wish I could have listened to all the kids, but I had Grace with me and she only sat quietly in my arms through about 2 speeches. The project was really a neat idea to get kids into a biography. All the kids looked great!!! Nate's costume turned out pretty good considering the letter came home right before we left for our court date and I couldn't be bothered to worry about it then. Then this wednesday, I found out he needed the costume for thursday! Poor kid! We were scrambling and thanks to our dear neighbor, Kelly, Nate turned into Albert Einstein!

Albert Einstein. This was Nate's pose that he stayed in until someone hit the button. He was "working on an equation".

After Nate's museum we stopped by Aidan's class for a couple minutes so they could meet Grace. Aidan has been dying for me to bring her in for show-n-tell. She had no problem making herself at home!



I took these pictures after I posted the other day. She doesn't always eat her baby doll!
