OrKIDstra

So Winter has not really ever arrived here in S FL, but Josh is just discovering that it may be fun to dress in winter clothes anyway!

This was Mommy's hat, who received it
from Bubby --- soooo, that hat is OLD!

The boys' school had a fun evening of orKIDstra -- they were able to see an orchestra perform, learn about the instruments through sound, and then play and interact with the instruments afterwards.  The boys LOVED it!

The opening performance.

Worried it would be too loud.

But totally into it once they started playing!

Channeling his inner Uncle Ari

Awesome sounds were played.

Josh gives it a go.

On to the flute.

Derek needs a lefty flute.

Mommy goes for the "A" -- the only note she remembers.

Josh tries this...

....and now channels his inner Daddy.

They can try this all they want here,
but the set is NOT coming home!

Adam helps them get set up!

Breakin' it down!

Josh had to journal about being Shabbat Abba -- so this is what he drew on the left and Derek drew the picture on the right.

Derek and Josh signed their names ALL by themselves!
Both of them enjoyed being silly and wearing PJ's and bringing Teddy Bears to Tot Shabbat.  They had a blast!

Josh grows a beard like his Uncle Keith.

Peanut butter.

Peanut Butter Face.

Chocolate Chip Pancakes!

The crew greeting Mommy at the door as she comes home from work.

Derek helps Benji navigate, while Josh collects the toll.

The Serdenes' came over for a bit of fun and dinner.

Derek being a bad influence on sweet, innocent Dean.

The boys sharing toys and having fun.

On the lookout, waiting for Daddy's arrival!

He's like the tortoise ---

--- he even stops for a nap.

The boys' adventures linger --- even as they sleep.
They left the spider-man balloon to climb their tent and "hang out" overnight.
