We've Got Talent!

The kids won 3rd place in their school-wide talent show!*  

I'm not sure we were supposed to be in the talent show.  In the letter to the students, it said that the preschool classes were doing a costume contest.  I asked if our kids could still do a talent, and they let us.  I guess none of the other preschool students' parents asked.  So, one of our family's favorite songs to jam out to in the car is "I've Been Working on the Railroad."  Well, let's be honest, the kids and I love to shout it out, Michael just endures us =)  So, I decided that would be a great song to sing for Olifant's Got Talent.  We sang it over and over, Michael found us a karaoke version, they practiced some little dance moves, I remembered the kids had some semi-matching blue and white railroad engineer-looking shorts, and we bought some red material that would do as bandanas.  I was worried about how the kids would do.  There was a possibility that they would get scared and refuse to go on stage.  There was a possibility that they would get on stage and just yell or act silly.  There was a possibility they would actually get up on stage and sing.  Lucky for us, they did possibility #3.  Truett was not feeling so well, so they didn't do their little motions.  He didn't hold the mic up close to his mouth, so you can't hear him so well.  But they were still cute.  Here are some pictures:

 Here they are getting their awards.  They each got one for participating and they got one together for 3rd place.

Remember I told you that Paisley likes posing for the camera?  Get ready for a good laugh.

 Should we vote?  Which one is your favorite Paisley Pose?

I think there is a good chance they just won because they are foreigners, young, and cute.  But, hey, we'll take it!

Enjoy the video! (the beginning is loud, you may want to turn down your speakers)

*Simple Disclaimer:  There were 5 different categories.  Our kids won 3rd place in their category, but there were only 8 acts in their category.  However, they were the youngest there, and the oldest were in 5th grade.
