Audition - Sword in the Stone

Last week Shara tried out for the Easton Children's Theater production of The Sword in the Stone. It sounds like there were more younger kids trying out than parts available and she didn't get in. They offered a workshop and she was going to do it, but then that was cancelled due to lack of interest. It was also pretty late at night. She was unphased about the whole thing and will be trying out for the Spring musical, The Wizard of Oz. I'm guessing what made it such a small loss is chorus. She started yesterday at school and is so excited. She didn't like the trumpet and decided last year that an instrument wasn't for her but she really wanted to sing and now she is and loves it!

Sunday we did the corn maze at Flint Farm and made it to the exit in just over an hour! Last year we were going in circles and never got to the end. We were so happy we had to treat ourselves with ice cream, as opposed to console ourselves with ice cream. I think it tasted just as good either way.

Saturday Shara went with Auntie Chris to Frozen on Ice at the Dunkin Donuts Center. She had a great time. Maybe she'll fill in some details. All I know is they went to the show, then to Chili's for fajitas, then to Oma & Jidors for a visit and dinner.

Friday she was at a birthday party and had another fun night. Silly photos were taken, a scavenger hunt was had and truth or dare was played. There was a chocolate fountain and everyone had to have at least one strawberry and she did and also had chocolate dipped marshmallows.

Relax

After working the yard for about 2 hours, Shara asked when I'd be done. I said about now and I came in to her having set up the massage table all by herself and got a very nice massage. I asked where she learned how to do one and the answer should have been obvious, wikihow!

Fifth Grader!

First day of fifth grade today and it went very well. Shara really likes her teacher and classmates. She was surprised she knew so many of them. She's very excited to be able to go to chorus and it starts in a couple of weeks.

When I got home she was headed out with Alan to play frisbee and then got her kite out and tried to fly it with no wind. It was a good workout that I got to participate in after dinner. Once we started sharing airspace with the bats is when I felt it was time to go in!
