Seussical Jr.

so miss L has started her run of her second Musical Me Theater show: "Seussical Jr." It opened today and she has five more shows...and she started this first show with a migraine and a request to "just go home and go to sleep..." thank you JESUS for motrin--this kid can actually swallow a pill! after some water, the motrin, some strawberries and some rest, she rallied and was ready to sing, dance, and act her little heart out as a "who-dunnit" in who-ville :)

 i almost wish she could have left her hair like this, but it was in preparation for her pink wig...

 with fellow who's and things...

 these thing costumes were a labor of love...i made them both and it was so gratifying to make something lasting--because the laundry, dishes, cooking, and cleaning i do daily (although necessary) are NOT lasting...i'm a project kind of gal. i need results...

 warm up on stage...these kids were amazing!

 intermission...

 here she is with the playbill--gosh, i'm just so proud of this kid!!!

 here she is with her friend luke, who played jojo

 even mr. dan came out to see she and luke perform

 and here is lily with miss ashley--aka drama mama--the brains behind the whole operation! she is awesome with these kids and produces quality!!! they did this show is only FOUR weeks! and there's a LOT in it...

time to rest before tonight's performance--lily will now be a rabbit and a fish for the next show...cheers!

life lately...

i work for an awesome lady at an amazing ministry... and one of my gigs was to help pull off a seminar teaching on God's treasure in His WORD...we had almost 100 women there and the speakers were fabulous, the worship was beautiful, and the whole morning was a sweet time with other women...

 so before denny and cindy headed out to peru, we celebrated cindy's birthday with her... all the tiny people sang and loved on her for the evening and we feasted on oreo trifle :)

 satchel's is open again!!!!! we made our first official visit since the fire and everything was spectacular!!

 so i have had several creative pursuits lately--part of my philosophy to do something each week that the kids can't undo...this was my goldfish that i couldn't rest until i painted :) i'm happy with the result

 and lily's play "seussical jr." is this weekend and i volunteered to sew costumes. things one and two were assigned to me and i made two red jumpsuits and then stitched their name plates to the front... in this photo thing two wasn't fully complete, but thing one was

 here's lily and her friend mary in front of horton's egg on their set for seussical jr.

 made a quick trip to v-town to drop off the twinnies at mimi and poppy's... we celebrated the fourth at the river club and swam and hit the water slide--a fun time was had by all :)

 even daddy got in on the action
