Mac's school, which is preK through 8th grade, recently had a Spring Concert and Art Show. His class was asked to say the pledge and sing a flag song. We practiced and practiced the flag song to get him ready, since he only goes to school one day a week. We practiced so much that now anytime we see a flag, Drew and Mac yell "Flag!!" and burst forth in song. Success :) Now, if he had only sung so enthusiastically at the concert...

Hand over heart, saying the pledge. That's my boy all the way to the right.
Sam and I knew that Mac would either be ok with singing in front of the crowd or cry and run off. We were very proud that he participated the whole time. As you can see, he is cautiously participating, not yet even waving his flag, but participating nonetheless!
Finally took his flag out!
A week or so after the concert, Mac's class participated in the school science fair. Their experiment was mixing oil and water. They don't mix, like boys and girls in class don't mix. But when you add an emulsifier, like a teacher is to a class, they can mix! So cute :)
Mac and his friend Ben. And you know Drew had to get up in the action, bottle and all. He practically knocked over Ms. Lisa to get in the picture.
This was Mac's favorite science fair project.
