Jack's Medieval Festival

One of the many things that I love about Jack's school is the way that they study history.  In each grade they learn about a different time period and how it relates to the Bible.  They have a festival each year where the kids dress in costumes and present things to the parents from their designated period of history.  Then, the day is always topped off with food and games.  Festival Day is always a big deal for the kids... and to many of the parents.  I love helping with the kids' schools as much as I can.  Today some moms and I were talking, and we figured out that this was my 10th festival to help with.  I think that I get some kind of star in my mommy-crown for that, I am not sure.  Either way - I love school festivals... mostly because it gives me a few minutes to sit back and watch my kids.  Somewhat undistracted.  Every time that I actually stop myself long enough to remind myself to pay attention,  I am a bit overcome with love for my kiddos and disbelief at how time flies.

At the festival, Jack had to recite some information that he had memorized about a squire's duties.

Then, the kids did a mini-play.  Jackson played the part of "the old doctor".  He was such a ham!  I have not looked back at the video, but I think that it will be one that we laugh at for years to come.  The boy loves him some audience!
