After dinner the kids took apart the “stage” and turned it into a wrestling ring. :)

They made everything themselves, from the background to their costumes and every child from K1 (3 years old) to grade 5 was in the show. Pretty impressive! I got to help out with photos, here are a few of the boys. A few more are in this gallery. :)

He declined wearing it for his head-shots, but once the serious shots were finished the clown in him did humor me with some funny shots.

Home alone in the middle of the day and this is what we get up to. lol

Yay Mike!

He was very sure he wanted to shave for the photo, but I insisted he leave the hair on for a few first.

The wrinkles in his shirt were a constant struggle; I think I have gotten him to agree to have a few new ones tailored.

After a week’s break with a hurt arm, on Wednesday Matthew was back at tennis looking great!

Nathan has one more quick practice before the other students arrive.

Katrina is on first - is she reading it correctly?  :)
