Well, we have been so busy with rehearsals these days, that we haven't blogged for almost two whole weeks!!

Tonight is our last rehearsal before the show. It has been such a great experience and I hope to do many, many more shows. Here is the awesome  AWESOME poster!! :)

A Friday Picnic

One of my close friends and I had a picnic today! Ok, it wasn't outside all the way..... :) We actually had it on my friend's (Macie) screened-in  deck! The weather was perfect! Also, the pictures I took turned out really well! Here they are!

YUM!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LIAM!

Last night at ten o'clock, Liam turned 10! Double digits, woohoo!!! For his birthday party, he had a magician put on a magic show. It was awesome! I love you, Liam!

Trilogy Summer Show

Books With Pictures, Books With Words!

As quoted by Lumiere in Beauty and the Beast.

This was my first musical! (Not counting elementary school shows.)

I loved it soooooo much! It was super fun and everyone was awesome!

I'm still quoting lines around the house, and I think it would be hilarious to quote them at school, but not many people would get it. So I won't. But anyway... here's a picture.

Oh, and I had a microphone in the first scene, so when it came time for mic checks, I had to say my (one) line about 12 times. 'Is he dangerous?" Is he dangerous? I said, IS HE DANGEROUS?!?!

So one of the others kept asking me 'Is he dangerous?" So funny.  Also, there was a running joke about how I was a terrible mother. (My part was Lady with Babies.) In the first scene, I'm herding my child around the marketplace. Later on, I'm dancing and drinking in the tavern. (Gaston was the song, you may know it...) And then, off I go with a pitchfork to try and kill the beast! (Mob Song... ah, good times. Trying not to trip over my long petticoat was the main focus there...)

I had to curl my hair for a week - going to school with ringlets was interesting. 

But I got lots of compliments! :)

Oh, and Erin was in this one too. (See this post. She was Miss Warriner.)

There are more pictures on Trilogy's website, if you'd like to see them!

PS. I'm in another musical - one of Trilogy's summer shows. It's a combination of most of the Disney princesses. I'm Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) and Mia is a maiden. 

Fun!

A 'C'? A 'C'?

(posted by Mia)


"A 'C'? A'C'? I go a 'C' on my coathanger sculpture? How could anyone get a 'C' in coathanger sculpture? May I ask a question? Was I judged on the sculpture itself? If so, is it not true that time alone can judge a piece of art? Or was I judged on my talent? If so, then is it not unfair that I be judged on a part of my life over which I have no control? If I was judged on my talent, than I was judged unfairly; for I tried as hard as I could! Was I judged on how much I had learn from this project? If so, then were not you, my teacher, also being judged on how well you transmit your knowledge to me? Are you willing to share my 'C'? Perhaps I was judged on the quality of coathanger itself out of which my sculpture was made.....now is this not also unfair? Am I to be judged on the quality of coathangers used by the dry cleaning establishment that returns our garments? Is that not the responsibility of my parents? Should they not share my 'C'?"

Bad, Bad Boy!

Moby is not supposed to be in the garden, but he sneaked in to look for his dad. Bad boy!

P.S. Sorry we haven't posted recently!! It has been SO busy!

Vintage Cookbooks

Oh, the joys of thrifting. Vintage cookbooks for 3 dollars? Yay! This is the latest addition.

And of course it's fun to see what people have handwritten inside, like in this one :

"To Jane,  for Bobby's benefit, with love to both - Marg."

When I was flipping through this on the way home, I came across a description for Norwegian Prune Pudding. (Actually, I think it must be a combination of Tapioca Cream and Norwegian Prune Pudding, seeing that there is actually not any tapioca in the Norwegian Pudding...) {Under the category 'Desserts Children Like'}

"Pieces of dark meaty prune, ready for the picking, float enticingly in creamy tapioca."

Somehow I don't think that this would be a well-loved dessert around our house...

Oh, and here's another rather strange recipe. (My Dad said to include this one.)

Braised Possum? No thanks. 

But, there are many recipes that sound delicious. Fudge Cake, Gingerbread Upside-Down Cake, Blackberry Jam Cake, Kuchen, Hot Cross Buns, Potato Soup, etc. etc. etc....

Oh, and there's also Eel in Aspic. (not under the Delicious category!!!!!)

"Picnik"

Picnik is a great way to edit photos if you don't own photoshop. You can do it for free, but for some certain things you have to pay. Obviously I didn't take this picture, but I edited it! (It is a sample picture from our computer.)

irving!

Once upon a time there was a little monster named Irving. He had extraordinarily large feet, which meant he was always tripping over them. But he's really very nice and super friendly!!

Irving, Marguerite, and Molly

P. S. He loves to read, as you can see!

Pattern from Rebecca Danger's Big Book of Knitted Monsters.

Daphne and Delilah the Second

Once upon a time there were two monsters- one named Marguerite and the other named Molly (Molly's the little one) and they went shopping.

Sunglasses shopping: (Marguerite particularly loves sunglasses shopping)

 How about these?

Ooh... very retro. 

(She purchased these, don't ask me why... i think they're cute though!)

now off to the salon...

blonde poof? no thanks. 

red pompadour? not this time...

  

long purple waves? maybe this summer.

orange beehive? perfect. :D

"mommy? can we go now? I'm bored." said Molly.

So off they went to the bakery and ate cupcakes. 

The End...
