Twin Day and Talent Show

Talent Show

John was out of town for the twin's school talent show this year so I pawned off the two little boys and had a date with Jake and Hannah. They both had art on display and Jake won first place for his grade and gets to have an art class with a local artist! He got to go on stage and get a certificate and shake the hand of the artist judge. He was so cute--when they announced his name he stood up and did victory arms! Hannah performed in a dance number with some of her best girlfriends, Neve and Maren, and they were the opening act! They were fabulous! You can go here to view the video. Fun night!

Jake in front of his art...(all the black bordered)

The winning piece...

I love this one...(check out the evil clouds and Jake's sweet armour! I love his indecision after he's already made the leap. "Oh wait, how can I fight?" So Jake! You might have to zoom in for the full effect!)...


(yes, he's still into tigers!...)

Hannah and her art...

"Rainy Day at the Farm"...


(thanks to Britt and her Arty Party class so my kids had stuff to display!)
Grandma and Grandpa came...(and even stayed through the whole thing, which was as you can imagine can be pretty boring after your grandkid performs!!)

Hannah and her fellow dancers...They did an adorable number choreographed by Britt (again, thanks) to Gloria Gaynor's 70's classic, "I Will Survive" complete with some fabulous 70's dance moves! Go here to Britt's blog for the video. (Hannah's on the left).


Here's Hannah and her friend Brooke who did Irish dancing with her sister... So cute!


Twin Day
This same day was Twin Day at school. Hannah and her friend Claire already had these matching shirts and wore them together. Jake told me that he and his friend Zachary were going to wear "tie dye shirts and camouflage shorts" Ummm, okay I guess. Poor guy! Zachary forgot so Jake claimed his awesome fashion statement all his own. (I forgot to take his picture!)
Here's Hannah and Claire...



I found some old accidental Twin shots from Friday Friend Day back in the fall. I never posted them so I thought this would be fitting on "Twin Day"...

Hannah and Maren

John and Mathew (love John's embarrassed face!)

Love coincidences!
