Mama On The Move

Kerry got his standard, military-issue haircut this week. When she was finished, the hair stylist asked him if he would like gel in it. Sure, we wouldn't want the wind to blow his hair out of place.

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 s...

Kerry's fortune today was quite unusual for him! I thought his drink was going to come out of his nose when he read it!

Got another picture from the prom!

Kerry, Katie and I were all in the car together. Katie piped up from the back seat, "Did one of you just fart?" "No," we both responded. I took a quick sniff to see if I could detect what she was smelling but everything smelled fine. "Do you smell something bad?" I asked. "Almost," she responded.

Katie's English lessons are focusing on how to write a research paper.  I'll confess, this is not my favorite teaching point.  Unfortunately, it's very necessary - just ask Ben and Emily who are both writing plenty of papers these days! I was reading out loud to Katie from the teacher's guide, "To begin the writing process all you need is A) a pencil, and B) paper." Suddenly Emily stomped into the room and bellowed at us, "All you really need is A) MONITOR and B) KEYBOARD!  They need to update that book!!!"

We had a fantastic time at Trivia Night! Each table is supposed to have a theme so we chose "Monopoly". For a group who picked our theme less than 24 hours in advance, I thought we did a pretty good job! Kerry and I dressed as the "Luxury Tax" space and the "Go to Jail Space".   Another couple dressed as the "Electric Company" and "In Jail" spaces.  Another member made a monopoly board with all our names on the property spaces. We had a blast even though we didn't win anything.  We were in the running for quite a while for the trivia prize but about halfway through we started lagging behind. It was still a lot of fun though!
