It's Show Time Again…
Aladdin: Awesome Jr. High production. I was really impressed with the talent and energy and of course, I was partial to Aladdin and that cute carpet!! The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe: I lost track of how many times my oldest was Peter, but each year the plays a little different. Bravo to a…
Playing is not always fun!
It’s been another crazy month at our house, but when isn’t it! I came home from ACFW to a kid quarantined with possible swine flu (don’t think it was) and that very week all four kids started rehearsing for a college production of Oedipus Cycle. We were going to take the fall off from plays,…
A Fear Overcome and A Dream Come True
…about thirty years late. But I guess it’s still a dream come true. When I was younger I loved being on stage in my high school plays, even if I was just in the background dancing, but I hated the auditions. It scared me to death. I never had a speaking part that was more…
Strike a Pose!
Okay, we got a little carried away on the set of Peter Pan with “Michael’s” teddy. But it was oh, so fun! My “Michael”

Beauty & The Beast Cast Parties! Peter Pan Recitals
The Play’s the Thing…
It’s spring and that means it’s busy season again. Four kids, three in two different plays, two in soccer, four in music, two in swimming and 1 in dance! Kind of crazy, but it’s so fun to see them excel and have fun after an extracurricularless winter! Timmy, my 9yr., once told me “Mom, I’m…
I’m Ready for Opening Night!
Three days until opening night of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Three days! Can you tell I’m so ready for this play to be over with? I think the novelty of this particular play wore a while ago, especially since my two oldest are playing the same parts as last year and this…
Grace’s First Audition: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe
Auditions are always so exciting and long and yes, kind of boring. I’ve been holding Grace off from auditioning for a year now, but thought we’d give it a shot this year. I was a little worried about her waiting for her chance on stage, so I came prepared. Drink, snack and coloring books. That…
I Must Be CRAZY and an Update on Life!
But I’m sure you already figured that out! Tomorrow was supposed to be Timmy’s 8th Birthday party. We ordered sunshine for his SURVIVOR party. But it’ll be raining all week. Thursday was supposed to be the rain date for party. Supposed to be 40% showers. So I emailed everyone asking if Sunday would be better,…
Show Time Again!?!
My kids were going to take a break and I wasn’t pushing them to audition even though I thought the Jungle Book would be a great play for them. Actually, I was relieved they weren’t auditioning. I knew if they made it practices would be M/T/Thurs. from 7 – 9 pm. And we still have…
