Of Broadway!
Well, Brett & I are happy to say that we are DONE directing the stake musical! We had over 100 cast members (65 were children)- so you can imagine how I've pretty much lost my mind lately. When all was said and done, it was definitely more work than fun, but once again a good experience, nonetheless...
Despite all my complaining, I grew from it- Last night, a parent came to thank me: "We just don't have the extra money to put our kids in music or dance lessons," she whispered, "So we are so grateful they were able to do this show. Thursdays & Saturdays have been their favorite days!" It sometimes takes a comment like that to put things in perspective. (And of course, now I'm feeling major guilt for being so grumpy...)
Kye has been such a good sport through it all. He was really good to sit on grandpa's lap & watch the show. Thanks to everyone who helped out with him during rehearsals- I don't know how we would've done it.
Here's an idea of the fun part- Our stage was small, but the talent was big!
And, can I just say how many great friends & family members we have- thanks to all of you who came to support us! We kept saying how grateful we are to have such amazing friends! You guys are the best!!
Yeah, and for those who missed it, it was truly your loss('cuz it was dang good)! But, I'm happy to share a few little snippets with y'all!
Hunter was very patient, especially when I turned out to be a major stage mom... He'll probably grow up to resent me, but I sure had fun watching him!
One of the perks of being in charge- I was able to pick & sing my dream song from Aida! How fun is that?!
Brett sang a VERY difficult song, although he makes it sound so easy...
I am grateful that President Monson is a self-proclaimed "show-a-holic" & that the church allows us to have the opportunity to do things like this- How can you go wrong by giving families (especially the kids) a chance to develop their talents & present a FREE, wholesome family activity-
So, after my little "sabbatical," I'm excited to say I can now enter the blogging world again! The last few weeks have been pure craziness, but I think it's safe to say we're almost back to normal. (Well, after I give the house a good scrub & finish about seven more loads of laundry we'll be back to normal).
Well, the other day at breakfast, my wish came true! Hunter stopped eating his cereal and said, "Hey mom, look! I can make binoculars out of my hands!"
Another funny moment- While we were decorating the tree, Hunter found that he could get these snowflake ornaments to stick to his shirt. "Look, guys! I'm like the Christmas Tree!"
