Having such a blast!

"Wash Your Troubles Away"

Well, even though we are so exhausted between shows we can barely function, we are having so much fun with the show! Mom and Josh (my mom's foster son) came up this past weekend. We really enjoyed meeting him and spending time with him. He is such a cute kid! He just turned 6 but is smaller than Chali. Jen and I went to Goodwill and Salvation Army to find him some clothes (b/c they sent him with only the ones on his back.) But what slim pickings they have. We found a few items and it was like Christmas for him. His face lit up. So sweet.

Friday night was opening night and it went great! Everyone was pumped and it went so smoothly. Unfortunately, we have a few people in that are extremely ill and several of us getting over it. Our villian ended up in the ER on Saturday at 4:30am! He had been having an allergic reaction to the antibiotic they had put him on the week before! I cannot believe he was still making it through performances! I have mucho respect for that man! Saturday we took the kiddos to the zoo. Josh had never been to a zoo before. Of course we left the darn camera in the car. Poo. But they had a great time. And of course to follow tradition...Zesto's ice cream on the way home! yummy! Then home to pass out before the next show. Saturday night Mom, Josh, Trip and Jen came. Another great show! Josh had a blast! The show is very active and interactive. The audience is very much involved with this show, so Josh thought that was fun.

"Opal & Lavania"

We had brunch at Spyro's on Sunday, then Mom and Josh had to leave. =( Never enough time. And off to the theater we went again for a matinee show. We had several friends there on Sunday, including Chali's teacher Miss Miller as well as Ms. Jan, her teacher last year. We had another great show, despite poor "Phineas." Chali just swelled with pride as her teachers brought her flowers! I don't think I have seen her beam that much before. =) Thank you Ms. Jan and Miss Miller for making her day!

These are all the girlies in the show. Karis, Meiying, Grayson, Allison, and Chali.

Karis liked trying on my wig. It's about as long as she is tall. Lol.

We are excited about another weekend of perfoming coming up! But GRATEFUL for a few days off inbetween! Pray for Ed "Phineas" and other cast members to be feeling their best! Mama Zannie, Papa D, Aunt Donk and Uncle Andrew are coming this weekend. Yay!

Does anyone even read this?

I am beginning to wonder if anyone reads this blog. I know I don't post as often as I should, but I do the best I can. I'm not so blog savvy. Anyway, I just see all the comments on everyone else's blogs and not that I am whining for comments here, but it just makes me wonder if I should quit blogging b/c I'm not sure if anyone is even reading this.

My sweet little 3 year old Karis just hopped over to me and said "Mama can I get in your lap?" with her mosquito eaten face. Poor baby, she was outside yesterday evening for 30 minutes and her face and arms are eaten up. Chali has none. What is it in the body chemistry that dictates whether or not you get to be graced with the presence of those little suckers? And now she wants me to get on playhousedisney.com so she can play. When did she grow so big? I wish she'd knock it off. I think I only have a few more months before she looks like a little girl instead of my little baby girl. At least the knuckles on her hands are still indented. When those pop out, it's over for me. =( Hurry up Grace and Jen! I needs me some babies!!!
