The end of year activities certainly have taken their toll on how tired we all are - especially with worrying about Mr Safety-Man's mom. But all-in-all it has kept us EXTREMELY occupied and I think that is a SUPER thing right about now.
Last week was a really special week. The girls both decided that they wanted to audition for the Missoula Children's Theater group that was sponsored through our school and a middle school for the arts. How could we say no! I was so proud that they BOTH wanted to do this. There were about 75 children that tried out for parts in the play Pinocchio. The way these two 'directors' shifted, listened, tested, played with each child was really interesting to watch. One of Kyky's & Boo's best buddies & her sister were also trying out. My friend (their mom) and I had HIGH hopes!! The auditions were on Monday from 5-7pm and if they made a part then they immediately started to practice! They only rehearse for ONE week starting on that Monday and they would have TWO big shows on Saturday! UNBELIEVEABLE!! Needless to say ALL. FOUR. GIRLS. MADE. IT! Ky got the part of "street urchin #7", E. got the part of "paradise island kiddo", Boo-Boo & L. got the parts of toys...Baby dolls! SO sweet! They did such an awesome job. It was a LONG week... late practices -but they all learned their parts and we were all shocked with this huge play in only one short week!
I got to sit in the FRONT ROW for the first time ever and watch TWO fantastic performances alongside friends. The girl's principal and drama teacher came to one of the performances - boy were they proud and impressed (but not as much as their Momma!). Unfortunately Chris couldn't go as he was in Maine with his mom for mother's day! But we took loads of photos and video for Daddy Safety-Man. It was a super long Saturday and it was super worth it.
