Sleeping Beauty

As I have mentioned in other posts, my kids were recently in their first real stage production (non~school). It was Sleeping Beauty and it was a very funny version of the Disney classic. It was an incredible amount of work, but they really loved it and are eager to try their hand at future performances.

They learned so much including stage terms, costumes, make~up, timing, how to waltz, everything that goes into a production from casting to set design. They also endured the long spans of time between being on & off stage. They sang beautifully and put all of those music lessons into wonderful performances (5, not including dress rehearsals).  They made lots of new friends and so did I!

I learned how to use my new camera without the flash by changing the iso!! Wahoo!

The kids would like to be in another musical. It was a great experience for all three of them, as well as my husband and I!

A quick update on my mom's battle with cancer: she is more than half way done with chemo and her PET scan is showing no signs of cancer! She is kicking cancer! Thank you for your kind thoughts and prayers...they are working.

Coffee update: most days I am staying under 2 cups, but I occasionally will have a 3rd cup to battle our dreary spring weather. 

You may have noticed that I haven't been blogging a lot lately. I am still working out and still working hard on eating healthy foods. Also, we had a wonderful family vacation a few weeks ago. I haven't had much time to blog, but I hope to be back in the blogging groove soon!

It is hard to believe that April is gone and we are winding down the school year. I hope to get some closet organizing done this week with our cool, rainy weather.

I will be back soon.

Hugs,

Cathy
