My Weekend

Grease logo

Grease WAS the word and now it’s all over and done with.

Little 50's girl - Grease

The Girl had the best time ever! She’s had fun with shows before but this time, she was in the older group and got to hang with the teens. This made it fun for a lot of reasons but as part of the older group, you just get to do more on stage.

Grease - Cheerleader

Here she is donning the iconic Rydell cheer uniform.

Beauty School Dropout

And here she is as a Beauty School Dropout. That scene was so much fun and she got to be in the show with her very good friend, as seen above.

This was the first time we’ve done a summer show. The pace was a little slower, which I liked and there were only four shows this time around but overall, it was a  lot of fun. I am still completely exhausted though. The Girl? She seems fine!

I never did get around to posting a Sunday Salon and there is no food in my house but we are all pretty happy given it’s Monday and all. Next show? Annie and The Teen decided to do it after all so both kids will be in that one this February. Rehearsals begin in September.

Now, coffee and lots of it.

Happy Birthday to This Kid

The Teen - 2014

The Teen is sixteen today! Last year, he got cheated out of a birthday because of all the summer school nonsense he was involved in, as well as the unfortunate scheduling of his wisdom teeth extraction. How horrible! What mother books oral surgery for his birthday weekend? Me, because that was the only time to do it since he was involved in so many activities.

This year, things are slightly better. Summer school is still screwing stuff up but no surgery scheduled. However, we are in production week for Grease and can’t do anything on his actual birthday, so to make up for it, we bought him tickets to see Once, a musical at the Pantages. He’ll be going with his friend. And then once production week is done, we’ll head out for dinner and a movie (Guardians of the Galaxy) which he is dying to see.

In case you are wondering, he is not driving yet. He doesn’t have the time to complete driver’s training. After summer school, he’ll hopefully be able to finish.

Soooo…Happy Birthday! Hope you have a wonderful day! We love you!
