Grease

James has been participating in the school musical of Grease. (School version - it's much cleaner than the original). He had such a great time and grew so much through this experience. I took a few pictures of him with the pink ladies and the T-birds. Most of the cast were 8th graders. He is quite a bit shorter than those kids. He played the part of Eugene (the nerd). He really hammed it up and had the audience laughing pretty good each time he came on stage. I could not believe what a natural he was on stage. No nerves, just excitement. Here are just a few pictures for you.

We are all looking forward to getting back to our normal life. I have been there everyday after school working on costumes and RSVP's for the cast party and helping out in other ways. I am so glad the play is finally over and we can get caught up on our laundry and cleaning. I have not cooked a meal for about 2 weeks, but we wouldn't trade the experience for anything. This play has been great for him and I enjoyed it too.

Life

Wow! What is going on?

I know I have not been blogging lately. There is a perfectly logical explanation. Here it is...

A daughter in high school, two boys in Jr. High, one kid in Elementary school, and a baby at home - has caused me to become temporarily insane. I feel like I've been knocked out for the last few months. We are living the best of all 4 stages of raising kids and they are all a full time job individually. I can't even type this with both hands because Bekah finally fell asleep and I don't dare try to put her in bed for fear of waking her. I am loving having a baby again but the playing field has changed so drastically. Seriously, what were we thinking?
