Holidays

R took K to the Holiday Pops concert on Thursday night. They reported that it was a wonderful experience, and particularly enjoyed the Christmas sing-a-long. This Sunday, I'm taking K to see Oliver!, and I'm excited to say that we have good seats. Yay! It sort of makes up for missing the Nutcracker this year.

We've finally shaken off the sickies for the most part, and so are getting back into the swing of things a bit. K has been reading about Laura Ingalls Wilder, and also about Australia. He and G have been way into playing with their Wikki Stix:






and are also way excited about the wizard capes that my mom made them for St. Nick's Day. K's cape is a deep maroon with a shiny star burst pattern; G's is a watery blue with iridescent swirls; and A's is a dark purple with sparkling butterflies. To say that they are smitten is a serious understatement.

I had my showcase performance for my Improv class last night, and it was AMAZING!!! It went very, very well, and I can't wait to take another class. I'm not taking the 201 class until after the babe is born, though, because I'm getting big enough that it makes doing some of the comedy a little awkward (being visibly pregnant during some scenes can weird people out a bit -- kind of like being visibly pregnant and barefoot while stage managing a production of Hurlyburly). So, instead, and for a lovely change of pace, I'm taking a storytelling class starting in January. Yippee! I may also be starting the ESL training in February, but I haven't decided -- I may hold off until the fall.
