Talent and More Talent

So life has been so busy over here in our home. Year end field trips and activities but the one that has the house all a buzz this year is the year end talent show at the school. They do it every year but none of my kids have ever been interested in performing in it. It's not that they don't have talent but they are not interested in being the center of attention... that way anyway. But this year is different! Ben signed up to do a piano piece. Now he is self taught because money is tight, and he and his dad don't always see eye to eye on how do this stuff. One of my visiting teachers has been helping him these past 3 weeks to help him with some technique. She may be able to take him on as a student after this is all over which will be great! Even more exciting is Sam and Matt are going to be doing a Magic show together! Yes that's right I said SAM! My challenge that hates being on stage in front of all those people because it cause his head to work a million miles a minute. He wanted to do it and signed up for it. There have been some set backs but he has worked through them. He had 6 tricks he was told to take it down to 3 then to 2. It was hard but he did it. He worked out a script and has been practicing... as much as he feels and with a small push a little more. We are excited for tomorrow afternoon and for all those who can not be there to watch in person we will be taking pictures as well as video to share. Until then Sam wanted me to post he 2 new favorites from yesterdays "America's Got Talent". The first one is one that touch his little golden heart and has him in tears because he loved it soo much.  The second is what he hopes he will one day be able to do. Please enjoy!
