Halftime?

So we went with my parents and all the boys to see the final performance of "The Music Man" last night. Now, I know I watch a lot of sports, but it might be rubbing of on my children. Throughout the first act Jacob kept asking, "When is halftime?"

Music Man

Tomorrow night Emma will complete her second production of the year - "The Music Man." This was a much different production than Joseph, but she learned a lot and had a lot of fun. This took months of rehearsal, practice, and planning. We are so proud of her and her ability to manage her life, maintain straight A's, and be a part of a top-rate production. I wonder what next year will bring?

The Cost of Beauty

The picture above is the after picture. The two below are both before pictures.


For Emma's new musical she had to have her hair in fairly tight ringlet curls. Well, apparantely the solution to this is to use these new curlers. After calling 15 different Sally Beauty supplies, Michael finally made a last minute trip to Casa Grande to secure the needed supplies. This was immediately followed by a phone call starting, "Did you have any idea how much that was going to cost?!" Well, yes I did, I just thought I would keep it a little secret until it was too late.

So, Emma has been wearing these in her hair to school for three days straight. At least she isn't alone and the end result is pretty great.
