Texas Hoedown at school

Is this the cutest little cowboy or what???
The last day before Spring Break, our elementary school does a hoedown. In the month or so before, their PE curriculm is to learn square dancing. Tyler was not interested in dressing up, but Matthew was excited to do so. I got these boots at a garage sale years ago and was shocked and pleased that a) they fit Matthew perfectly and b) that he was actually excited to wear them!
The kindergarteners have a whole Texas day where they learn and do activities to do with cowboys (I'm Texan and not a cowboy, but I will just this once accept that stereotype).
Alyssa even joined in the fun.
Here is Tyler line dancing with Alyssa by his side (they invited the parents for this one).
Matthew and a bunch of kids from his class.

Here I am sort of dancing...

Tyler doing the chicken dance. All the kids loved this!
Matthew--chicken dance.

I just like this one of my kids mesmerized by television. The boys don't get to watch much, and they are all zombies when a show is on.

Okay, in the background of Alyssa galloping--How excited did I get when I saw there is a "Mrs. Klein" that teaches at your school??!

He really is the cutest cowboy (ahem...excuse me, the most handsome cowboy) I've ever seen! LOVE it. Great acceptance of the stereotype, Kris.

I've seen that zombie look with Kirk and I in front of the tv. ;) Mathew does make the cutest cowboy! I totally remember being grossed out/secretly loving that I danced with boys at the elementary school hoedown.
