The Play

The students in our homeschool co-op have written a play each year for the past four years.
This year's play was a lot of fun!

Ben was the Big Bad Wolf. 

 Katie was the little pig who built a house out of straw.

And Emily was Rapunzel. 

 In the play, the evil queen and the two wicked stepsisters teamed up with the big, bad wolf to try to convince everyone in Story Land to change their stories.

 The wolf talked to Goldilocks.....

....and the queen talked to Little Red Riding Hood.

 Goldilocks went Goth and became "Gothilocks" 
and Little Red became a rap singer known as "Little Red from the Hood".

The wolf tried to eat the little pig in the house of straw but she escaped to the house of sticks.

The cow wouldn't jump over the moon and the dish and spoon didn't want to run away together.

Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty picketed the Prince's ball.

The wolf tried to get to the two pigs in the house of sticks......

by pretending to be a girl scout selling cookies, a UPS delivery man, and a singing telegram deliverer.

Snow White got a sunburn and her prince wasn't happy.

 The queen tried to convince the Little Old Lady In The Shoe to change her story but LOL decided to stick to her story and follow the Storybook Author.

Humpty Dumpty wouldn't sit on his wall and the wall fell on him. 

Miss Muffett became a biker chick.

Sleeping Beauty (who had become a career activist) and Cinderella (who had become a runner and a painter) tried to convince Rapunzel to join them, but she just wanted to wait for her prince.

The wolf used TNT to blow up the three little pigs house 
(they escaped safely) - 
no bacon was harmed in the production of this play!

Hansel, Gretel, Mary Mary Quite Contrary, and Jack (of Beanstalk fame) decided to straighten everything out.


 
They called a town meeting, got everyone to fix their stories.........

.....and danced into Happily Ever After!

THE END

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.)

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...

Japanese Fishing Shrine

Here's an interesting little spot we stopped to see. I'd passed this many times before and had never stopped to see what it was. Since GG and Sherry were here, we decided to check it out. There is a shrine of some sort with a statue and a carved rock. There was no information on sight as to what it is that I could find. There were flowers, food and incense left around the base of the shrine. There was a ceramic statue and a rock with a figure carved into it. None of the food was old or rotting (although plenty of it had clearly been pecked by birds) and the flowers were all fresh which made me think it must be cleaned and cared for on a regular basis. After we got home, I did some research and found this article about it from the Hawaii Star Bulletin, our local newspaper (I have edited out some bits, but otherwise the article is unchanged): "Maintenance" of the monument has been assumed by a group of Vietnamese Buddhists - Shingon Shu Hawaii, the Buddhist temple th...
