Another busy week!
We had auditions for the middle school musical, Seussical Jr. on Monday. Tuesday night was J's holiday concert at school. It was a great concert...upbeat and less than an hour long!!!! The rest of the week was gymnastics and Christmas shopping. Today we had the gymnastics team Christmas party and then headed to Franklin to see The Nutcracker. It was an abbreviated version with lots of kids in it. J and I probably knew about 1/4 of the dancers. J's dance teachers were in it as well as kids from her studio. There were many kids we know from ETC too. It was a great show for kids to be in and see.
Tomorrow was supposed to be "Christmas" with the Puglisi's but they are predicting a storm that will be a combination of the last two...8-10 inches of snow and then ice. They haven't got power back to all of NH from the ice storm last week. This can't be good. Anyway, the Puglisi's aren't coming up. We are going to see a church pageant in the morning and then we'll spend the day making cookies and watching old Christmas movies...You'll shoot your eye out!!!

We've Been Busy
Hello everyone,
It's been a busy couple of weeks. Last weekend we headed out to the local Christmas fairs. they have a great one for kids at J's old school in Moultonborough and a more high end craft one in Sandwich. J had a rehearsal for her Christmas dance show on Saturday night. On Sunday we went to meet the team at UNH. The gymnastics team divides into two squads and does a mini competition. After the "show" the kids get to go down on the floor and work out with the team. J just loves it! After the work out we changed into nice clothes in the ladies room and drove to Windham for the Nobody's Children fund raiser. I know, Durham to Windham, but I fell obliged to support Nobody's Children and Vivi was there from Romania.
Friday we were out of school...no power due to the ice storm. We were lucky as we only lost power for about 4 hours. Some people still don't have power. This Saturday night we had J's Christmas dance show. It was really great! Meagan kept it to just under 1 1/2 hours and the kids did a GREAT job! Of course, I forgot the camera! On Sunday we had our annual Mother/Daughter Christmas Tea and then I headed to a Christmas party. It was a busy weekend!
Today I held auditions for Seussical Jr., our middle school spring musical. Now I have the nerve wracking (sp?) chore of casting the show. I am lucky this time....all the kids could move well, most could sing and dance, and a few were really good. It should be a fun show.
Tomorrow night is J's winter concert. That will be fun too. Hope you're staying warm!!!

Follow this blog
Hey,
Look over there to the right. You might need to scroll down a little. See that widget that says, "Followers"? Well if you click on the link there that says, "Follow this blog," you can get an email notice that lets you know when I write a new entry. You can follow along the "exciting" lives of K and J as we tap dance, literally and metaphorically, through life!

NYC!
Today we returned from a great trip to NYC! We stayed with Doug and Shawn. On Friday the four of us went to see Bolt...NYC movie ticket prices are a little higher than New Hampshire movie ticket prices!!!! On Friday we went to the American Museum of Natural History. What a great place. We spent a lot of time in the butterfly exhibit. You can see the exhibit by going to the AMNH live butterfly web cam at: www.amnh.org/exhibitions/butterflies/webcams/cam1.php
In the afternoon we stood in line to get half price tickets to see Shrek, the Musical. It was an okay show. The talent was outstanding but I don't think the music was memorable. On Sunday we met friends from the Village Players to look at the Christmas windows and sight see. It was cold and drizzly. We had a wonderful lunch at La Bonne Soupe and then Jeanne and Shawn went home and I went with the VPs to see August, Osage County. It was a great play...very intense and kinda disturbing. Academy award winning actress, Estelle Parsons who has a home in Wolfeboro and has done some fund raisers for the VPs, had a major role in the play. She invited us to her dressing after the show. We spent about an hour talking with her. She was kind and gracious.
Now we are safe and sound at home!
