I went with Marik's class last week on a fieldtrip to see the musical stage presentation of Beauty and the Beast. Marik being the manly kid that he is doesn't enjoy singing and dancing a whole lot, so I was anxious to see his reaction to the performance. :) When they first started singing he whipped his arms into folded position and did a little growl and under his breath commented that he hated singing. I was nervous, but I tried to make comments about how cool it was, and he got a little into in, and really liked to clap after they sang. (He did get a bit huffy at a love song and said he didn't like that part.) At one point he sat on my lap and said "Mom, I am thinking of something...I am thinking of me in a ninja costume, singing." So it became cool enough in the end, but maybe a ninja musical would be better next time...is there something like that out there?

Oh my goodness Amber, this post just cracked me up! Funny kid, that Marik. You look smokin' in this picture too, so stylish :)
I miss you, I miss running with you guys, are you still doing that? I think we will be there in mid-June for a friend's wedding, maybe we can have a girls night or book club while I'm there!
Good ol' Marik. That is too funny!
PS When are you coming up next?
I love Marik! That's a cute picture too!
Marik's funny. I alway love his moon crescent eyes. And you look fabulous.
so funny! you guys are a cute couple;)
I'm feeling really sad for myself that you don't live closer--AND for James. I think Marik and Jimmy would be perfect little friends. Reminds me of how when anything happens that James doesn't like he groans and says, "Oh, this is worse than love letters!" I love these kids!
