General George Crook

I love the boy's school but they do require the kids to complete some huge projects throughout the year that make life a bit difficult. This is one example: The 4th grade Wax Museum Project. Seth has been researching General George Crook for the last two months. I have to say though that other than gathering costume items, Seth was able to complete almost everything completely on his own. He is one of the most self-motivated kids I know and love. He wrote a report, made a backdrop (forgot to take a picture), dressed-up and memorized a two minute speech that he will be giving everyday for the next three days. Friday he will be giving his speech in front of all the parents. I was so proud of him for all his hard work and can't wait to see him perform on Friday. The beard was a little "fuzzy" and kept bleeding everywhere but boy does he look like a handsome old man!

That's a great costume. When Alyssa did her wax museum person she started getting lightheaded after standing for so long that she almost passed out. They let her sit down for the last half.
