The Atkins: 11/16/2008

Waiting with anticipation.......

We were fortunate enough to be on the second row at the show. I thought we were on the 6th row but they extended the stage and those seats weren't there so we were on the second row. Zane was in total shock! He never took his eyes off of them. He couldn't believe that they were actually real and only 5 feet away. It is a larger than life show. My mother went also and she loved every minute of it. Elijah was in school so he didn't go but Brian and I enjoy it just as much as Zane does. He has learned a lot from them and they are the only preschool kids group that still sing "O Holy Night" and all of the spiritual Christmas songs on their dvds. They are a talented (and wealthy,45 million last year alone) group of guys with a love for entertaining children. They are always several special needs kids at the show as well. The oldest is 55 (Purple) and the others are 48, 44, and 30.

The Wiggles!!!

Hoop Dee Doo (polka)

They do a lot of cultural dancing on their DVDs and in their shows. They introduce the kids to Italian, Spanish and Greek language and dancing. This is one of Zanes favorite dances to do too.

Wake Up Jeff!!

Zane counts along with them "1,2,3..then yells WAKE UP JEFF!"

Anthony, Jeff and the Wiggly dancers

Henry the Octopus!

Anthony trying to do a split!

Wags the Dog!

Fruit Salad Yummy Yummy!

During the song "Fruit Salad" they decided to throw the fruit through the window like a basketball goal. Captain Feathersword got his stuck in the middle of the inflatable. The other Wiggles couldn't help but laugh at him.

A little girl giving Dorothy roses!

Ususually at a Wiggles show children bring Dorothy roses (she eats them on the show!) and Wags some bones! They let the littlest ones bring them right to her.

Humpty Dumpty (Jeff)

(Hysterical!!) Little Miss Muffett!

The Wiggles decided to try grits for breakfast that morning being that they never have eaten them. So Anthony told Captain Feathersword to add grits and biscuits and gray to Little Miss Muffet. The way they talked I don't think it they'll be dining on them again!!

Play your guitar with Murray!

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star!

Zane really loved this song! He loved the lights all over the walls. He sang and sang!

Zane counting to 5!!

Zane likes to try and stay up later by making you count with him to 5 a hundred times and by singing the wheels on the bus. He does it in a real deep voice and then in a real high voice. He knows it's hysterical. I'll try to get him changing voices next time but this time it's his normal voice.

Northwest Rebels Football Banquet!

Elijah had his football banquet at Mr. Gattis on Sat. They played games and ate pizza and cake. He was glad to see his teammates again since the season ended a month ago. That is his head coach in the back right, Otis Godsey.

Elijah received another trophy in addition to his team trophy for most improved player. He had never played at all until this year but by the 4th game he was playing offense and defense and only sat out a couple of plays each game! He did not know he was receiving this one he was shocked!
