Armour's last Playgroup & Ender's play

Last Friday was not only Ender's play, it was Armour's last playgroup. He would not pose for pics with his friends, so the only reasonable fair pic I got is this:
And now a couple still shots of Ender's play:
Awaiting his turn to speak...yeah for the sparrows...
Bows...

Ender's play

Ender's class did a play of Peter Rabbit at school. He played one of 3 sparrows. He was AWESOME!!! Below is a video of him rehearsing at home, and a video of the actual play. In the play, he uses his "beak" to help pick up the net off of Peter Rabbit. It was hilarious and by far Wes's favorite part of the whole play! I have to agree that it was the most creative, and best part of the play! Leave it to my kid to find a way to steal the show with a minor role!

Yeah for Ender!!!!
