Comic Book Artist

Our homeschool play premiered this weekend and WOW was it a success!  I could not stop grinning!  I seriously don't know if I've ever seen such a fabulous response from an audience during a low-budget, high-school performance.  

The play takes place at a company where comic books are created.

There was a Narrator who kept the audience updated throughout the show.


 Katie played Viola, the secretary at the comic book company and the love interest of the main character.


The artists at the comic book company drew a new superhero with magical pens.


They accidentally created a villain who could freeze time.....


The villain's cape was like a character unto itself!

 Evil minions.

Star Guy's main power seemed to be vanity!
(He called it CHARISMA!)

He was very unhappy when he learned he didn't have the power to fly!

Triple Time was super fast!


Emily played the super hero Wombat Woman.  
Her super power is the ability to burrow through anything.



Superhero Blossom could knock people out with one whiff of her magical flowers.


 Katie as Viola


Emily had never practiced putting on her accessories with her hair teased out so big.  The audience laughed so hard at her struggling to get the mask and cape on over her hair she wound up add libbing, "You drew my hair too big!" and then striking this pose until the audience calmed down.

The "Fabulous Four" and their creator, Stanley.


Viola and Wombat Woman.

Katie was supposed to have on a belt which she would give to Stanley.  Unfortunately, the belt went missing during the scene change and no one could find it.  When Katie turned her back to the audience I could see that it was hung up in the back of her dress, but she didn't know it was there!


 Viola and Stanley


Eraser Man, Star Guy, Triple Time, and Blossom

Mammogram

I'm having my annual mammogram today. I always hear about how painful they are, but honestly, I've never thought they are that bad. Not the most comfortable, but not painful either. Every time I have a mammogram, I'm reminded of this story. It won the Erma Bombeck Writing Competition and I still get a kick out of it every time I read it. So I'm posting it here today for your reading pleasure: Erma Bombeck Writing Competition 1st place in Humor Category Winner Leigh Anne Jasheway of Eugene, Oregon "The First Time's Always the Worst" The first mammogram is the worst. Especially when the machine catches on fire. That's what happened to me. The technician, Gail, positioned me exactly as she wanted me (think a really complicated game of Twister - right hand on the blue, left shoulder on the yellow, right breast as far away as humanly possible from the rest of your body). Then she clamped the machine down so tight, I think my breast actually turned inside o...

Ben's Feet

Ben went camping with his youth group this weekend. He said it was the best weekend he's had since we've been in Hawaii, and possibly in his entire life. The one negative part was that he stepped on some coral out in the water and cut his feet up pretty good. He swears it was all dead coral - you shouldn't touch live coral, much less walk on it because it damages the coral. No one ever mentions that it also damages your feet. They just tell you not to damage the coral. Also, coral is a living organism . If you step on live coral and a tiny piece breaks off in the cut, it will continue to grow. Did you see the movie Alien ? If some creature incubates in Ben's feet, then breaks out and eats us all one night, I'm going to be quite miffed. (Make sure you read the inscription on his tee shirt in this picture. It's quite appropriate.)

Luau, Luau

This week we attended our first luau! We went to the luau at the Hale Koa hotel. The grounds were just incredible. There were men playing soft Hawaiian music, the plants and flowers were glorious. There were people in native costumes making headbands out of palm fronds, chopping up fresh coconut for us to taste, handing out flowers for us to put behind our ears and handing out seashell leis to each guest. It was very relaxed and peaceful. This was a Samoan man who kept us entertained during the cocktail hour. He was very funny! Check out those tattoos. He said the tattoos were part of a rite of passage that he had to go through. He said it took fourteen days to complete the tattoo and, yes, it hurt. And yes, everything was tattooed. He demonstrated how to climb a coconut tree using only a bandanna around his feet. They picked people out of the audience and gave them a quick hula lesson. Katie was thrilled to be one of the people chosen and of course it irritated Ben because he thi...
