So, for Christmas last year the kids received some storybooks on cd. One of them was Jack and the Beanstalk. Today when I got home from work they asked me if I would come watch them play Jack and the Beanstalk. I figured they would do an ad-lib kind of thing.
Upon entering the room I am seated. A then informs me that he's not Jack, but jaguar. M is playing the part of the giant. The cd is started and the play begins. I hadn't realized they were going to do a play, I just thought that they were going to do some silly stuff and call it good.
So, jaguar goes off to sell the cow and gets the magic beans (which are portrayed by small pieces of paper). The beans are thrown out the window (onto the floor) and up (down) springs the beanstalk (a red construction paper curl with a green construction paper snowflake taped to the bottom - taped to the ceiling). A climbs up the ladder to the top bunk and hides in the stove (under the covers) when the giant enters the room.
Well, that's about as far as we got because dinner-time was signaled. Still, makes me proud that they can do something like this. Probably something most kids would do, but as we all know, my kids aren't exactly like most kids.

Wish we were there to watch. Sounds like they keep themselves busy. There school pictures sure are cute. They are growing up too fast for this grandma. I still think of ALL the grandkids as little ones. Know they are all growing as they should be, but when I don't see them often I tend to forget they grow. Love to all, Helen
Smart Kids, of course!!!
