Singing Chameleons

Okay, I've been away from blogs for a long time! That's actually good news. I am now well into my second trimester (wait - I think I'm actually starting my third), and I've felt so good that I've been working on other things that missed my attention during my nausea-filled first trimester!

The kids were involved a play last week put on by Missoula Children's Theater. They audition on Monday, practice all week, then perform on Friday and Saturday. Somehow (I think I was tricked), I ended up having a part in the play too, so it was a family affair. the play was Robinson Crusoe (loosely based, at best) and Jackson, Jordan, and Sydney were Chameleons. I was Mrs. Crusoe. They did some hilarious dances, and I think Sydney stole the show with her dancing. She even turned around and shook her tail at the audience a few times. The twins were pretty amazing too. Here's a clip. I don't think this one really does them justice - it's at rehearsal, but you can get an idea.







Auditions.

I'm glad it's over. The kids are dying to get the DVD we ordered.

That was adorable! You all did a great job! It's always good when the nausea goes away, isn't it!!! Is that Children's Theater close? I don't remember hearing about it when I lived there.

ha ha! you got suckered in!
that company just came here and did the little mermaid - i didn't even tell Tessa, because we just couldn't handle the scheduling that week. She would have loved it, though!

Laura, MCT is a travelling group from Missoula, MT. They come to put on shows when they are hired to. There is a homeschooling group which brought them to Brigham.

Kirsten, we did The Little Mermaid last fall. My kids fell in love with theater! Kind of a dumb play, though (am I allowed to say that??) I guess you make allowances for a play designed to have parts for 65 kids!!

It's good to be back! I'm glad people are still checking my blog!
