The last gallery was of Kai, this one is pictures of Nora that have accumulated over the last few months.

Nora’s Activities
This week Nora had her 3rd grade concert and 3rd grade art show. She was over the moon to show us what she’s done and even threw in some cartwheels on the way home.

Nora selected her red twirly dress that grandma made along with cowboy boots for her outfit.
After the show we braved the traffic and construction to get a new bike for Nora since she's outgrown her old one.

School House Rock!
In an indulgence to the parents in the audience the 3rd grade performance was School House Rock!
She's pretty excited!
Nora's Dance Costume
Nora just picked up her costumes for the recital in June. Here she shows her closing move.
I tried to get her to do Jazz hands
She wouldn't though. Not all jazz dance numbers have jazz hands she assured me.
This is the costume for the Jazz number
Pinewood Derby and First Grade Concert
Kai and Ben had a good time building his first Pinewood Derby car. I need to dig up a picture of it, turns out I don’t have one to post. It had a clone trooper motif and since the kids get to name their cars Kai called it TK421. He wanted to go with “TK421 Why Aren’t You at Your Post?” but we couldn’t get it to fit on the car so we just went with TK421. Some readers may get the reference. He got some respectable times but once his wheels got out of alignment he dropped back to 5th place.  Nora also built a car, “The Flower” and took third place on her track. The Cub Scout Troop does a good job of making family events where siblings can participate when possible. She was home sick but Kai took care of her car during her races.
Some video of Kai’s grade 1 concert is below – stay tuned for a post with Nora’s dance recital. Â Enjoy!
