Circus

A local circus came to town on Monday and we had some free tickets for the kids, so I took them to check it out. I got them a circus play set for Christmas so I was excited for the circus to be fresh on their mind. I let them get cotton candy to share and surprisingly Aubrey liked it - she is not too big on sweets.

Ethan really liked the white tiger. Kids all got up and stood along the rail (it was all outside) so I let Ethan do it too.

This guy was really cool!
Ethan got picked by the clown to come out and help him. Needless to say he was so excited!
Ethan was supposed to mimic his ninja moves.




He then got a blow gun and was supposed to try and pop the balloon on the clown's head.

The first time he hit him in the eye and the second time he told Ethan to shoot him in the bottom. Ethan did a really good job and the whole crowd was laughing.
He popped the balloon the last time. Ethan was out there for a long time and was in all his glory. It was so fun to watch and be excited for him. So glad I took my camera!
These little dogs were cute and we left at intermission because Ethan was having his friend Jordan come over for his first sleepover since they were out of school.

Also, Ethan got all A's on his report card. This was after he had hard spelling words last week and I told him we were going to have to work really hard on them to get an A. The little stinker said, "I'll just take a B!" After I got over laughing, we talked about how a B is just fine if you try your best, but we should never to work hard and be okay with a B. We did indeed work hard and he pulled off an A. He is also Student of the Month for October for Respect. So proud of our little guy!
