Back on track?

Well, we are trying to get things back to normal here - what is normal? I'm working on Broadway Night costumes for the kids and - oh yeah - Reid and I too! I am making a bunch of small aprons, chef hats, lion tails, etc... I really having fun with it, but it sure is busy. I need to make sure my costumes are ready to go as well. The big day is June 6th, so it's coming up fast! Hopefully the kids will learn their songs well.

Kim did her Groovin' with the Grimms performance last week and did a great job on her solo. If I can get on the ball I'll post it on here later. She also had a BLAST following a 6th graders around for a day at the middle school. She was thrilled that some of the 7th graders told her she would be fine because she was "cool". She is taking great care is what she is wearing, etc... so I suppose she'll fit right in! I think it's a great way to get kids excited and ready for middle school.

Eric had a small birthday party with 3 of his friends and their younger siblings this week. It was probably the easiest party I've ever done! We met at Burger King, got kids' meals and the kids played for a while. They brought us chocolate pies (the cupcakes were still frozen because some employee forgot to take them out) and we sang Happy Birthday and he opened presents. I paid Burger King and we left. He was thrilled to play with his friends and my house didn't get messier in the process. Fun times!

It sounds like the kid are having fun even if you aren't! But you make it fun, hence all the work involved.
The Broadway Night sounds very nice. Wish I could be there to see it.
