"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will -- to your surprise -- miss them profoundly."

--Thomas S. Monson, 2009

Izzy's Musical Theater Performance

Izzy had been wanting to join a Musical Theater class for so long.  All last year we kept missing out on joining in ones for various reasons including that we were moving, and couldn't find a place that was at a good time.  Finally we found one out in Sherwood Park, on Tuesdays at a time that worked, just right after piano lessons.  It was a short introductory class, about 3 months long.  But boy, has she ever LOVED it.  She really enjoys going and being part of that sort of thing.  We found one a lot closer to home that runs all year long and puts on a full production at the end of the year.  She really wants to do that one next year, but the practices are 2x a week, and it just seems like it would make her really busy.  We can think about it though.

This class worked on one scene from Matilda the Musical, called "Revolting Children."  It's about the children who revolt against the mean Trunchbull principal who thinks all children are revolting and disgusting.  They did such a great job, especially for girls who have never done this before!  It was really entertaining.  We had all heard Izzy sing and practice it so much that we all know the song off by heart, even Olivia haha.  Lily said she wants to try it out next year too, it looked like so much fun. 

Excited to go!

Practicing her moves.

We put in pearl earrings.  This was the first day she ever changed her earrings.

This was after the performance.  I am so grateful to these two for watching our girls while we were gone!
