Our fall can be summarized in nearly one word: PLAY. Both girls were thrilled and blessed to land major parts in our Middle School's production of Alice in Wonderland. Though the daily practices have consumed our lives this season, it's been wonderful having a front row seat to watching this spectacular play come together.
These are the big smiles on the day the cast list went out and the girls got their scripts. Delia plays Alice, Ella is the Cheshire Cat narrator.
Besides juggling play practices and dress rehearsals with church groups and homework, here are a few other things we squeezed into October/November...
A band and choir concert. Delia decided band was not for her and switched her musical contributions to the school to choir. We're fine with it. Ella continues to do both band and choir and even secured the First Chair position for her saxophone section!
A lost tooth. The tooth fairy jig is up, but the girls continue to play along for the cash. I love finding their sweet little notes tucked into the tooth pillow!
A couple football games. We had a really good team this year that has made it to playoffs. We've enjoyed some exciting games while visiting with friends under Friday night lights.
A church harvest party that we decided we are NOT too old for! It was discussed if it might be time to retire from this tradition, but these girls can't be talked out of a night of dress up! Because we were unsure about going, these costumes were literally put together the day of!
And a date lunch with Dave starring one amazing order of shared nachos.
Honestly this is not my normal amount of pictures or recaps for an entire month, but really we've just been living in the car and the school auditorium these past weeks. It will be nice to get back into a slower routine over the upcoming weeks...you know, of family visitors, holidays, and parties every weekend! ;)
