All saints day.

Our home school group had an all saints day party at a nursing home. We all dressed up as saints and told everyone who our saint was in his own words. I was St. John Berchmans (Patron of altar boys, No offense girls!) And Paul was St. John Neumann (I don't know what he's the patron of). Here is a picture of me talking about St. John Berchmans.



Here is a picture of Paul talking about St. John Nuemann.

Here is a group photo.



I'd like to tell you where I am. But you can't really see me.
Look for me.

Here is a shot of me and Paul

Talent show 2

A couple weeks ago, Paul and I did a comedy routine called Who's On First? and I also did a piano performance. I don't have a video of it but Mom put all the videos she took in to one video. Here it is

and here is the piano piece I did.

In the mean time (while I still don't have the video) you can watch our inspiration

                                                                                         

Oh Jonah! Jonah! Oh, Jonah, Jonah, Jonah, Jonah, Jonah!

The Jonah play went well on Monday. Everyone did everything when they were supposed to do it (exept for one part which you'll read about), and it turned out great, and I thought it would never work. Only one highlight of the play, Paul's solo, because the SD card ran out of memory! Stupid thing. O.K so highlights, there was a recorder performance by some of the choir students. One of the girls who was in the recorder class who was going to be one of the angels in the play put down her recorder during the middle of one of the songs and walked off stage. I asked her sister what was wrong, her sister said she didn't know. I was starting to freak out, but I just calmed down instantly. Five minutes later, the play started, we were just zooming through the first song. In one of the songs, Jonah has to run around the stage looking for a way to run away from God's command, in a part of the song there's a packing company that helps Jonah pack and it was hillarous. When a Football reached Jonah, he squeezed it and SQUEEK! Everybody started laughing. Alright to the sailor song here's the video. It's like 38 seconds:

If you're wondering what I'm doing, I was elected telescopeman

Because I own one.

Then we got to the big storm and we got to throw Jonah over board! HAHAHAHA! Then a bunch-a whale bussiness, and then we got to the ninivah secne and everyone (exept Jonah and the angels) had to wear sun glasses and look mean. This next part is hillarious, after the second verse, the music stopped (we used a CD player), my friend Peter who was Jonah yelled "Technical difficulties!" Everybody laughed. The problem, a mom was plugging her crock-pot into the wall and she unplugged the CD player! lol. Then we plugged it back in and the play continued. End of play.

Long awaited update

Hello everybody. Sorry I've not been posting lately, to busy. Well enough chit-chat let's get down to business here. From May 5th -the last day I posted- I have been altar serving a lot as you can guess, playing Baseball (my team is 1-5), being bat/ballboy for Paul's Baseball teams, going to Orioles games, I will be playing as a sailor in the musical Oh, Jonah! Paul will be the captain and I will post about that. While we are on the subject of homeschooling, our co-op had their annual Dad's day, when the dads come over and we do some cool stuff! Also my uncle turned eighty a couple days ago and we went to his party after Paul's game. The Miami Heat have been pummeling the Indiana Pacers in the playoffs, the final game is tonight on ESPN. Oh, I have also been writing a book, called The Prophecy of Flanagan. It's about a seventeen-year-old named Jack Finnegan who realizes that he's a reborn of the great Orioles pitcher Mike Flanagan! And today just as we were starting school we realized Leah had been toutring a bird! Mom didn't want to watched, same here but Paul just watched. Then the chase moved to the front yard, the bird was hiding in Dad's garden, but Leah found him and we thought the bird was dead, and Paul just lost it. He started getting upset! And then he called Dad at work, and asked what he would do. Dad gave him instructions and went outside, and then I heard "YAY! YAY! YAY!" The bird had lived =)! Paul walked back to Leah put her in her crate and I set my watch for 2 hours. Now as I am writing this, Leah has, 1hour 23 minutes and 9 seconds to get out. Stay tuned, your pal
