O is for....

O - k - l - a - h - o - m - a! I was so excited that our local theater (it's a step above high school) was producing one of my favorite plays! I took Ilea (Kyler didn't feel like going), and she enjoyed it. It was the longest production I've ever seen though! It lasted from 8 - 11:15! There was a 20 min intermission, plus 2 songs I've never heard of. The 2 lead singers were outstanding though! So worth it! The boy who played Curly was home from Boston Conservatory, and he had a fantastic voice. Laurie also had a very strong, clear voice, and did a great job of all the songs.

We also did a few crafts for O day. The kids made octopuses (octopi?), which was fun, and we tried to make some cookie octopus also. We had a hard time with the dough, and in the end they all spread together when they cooked so we had one big pan on chocolate cookies. They tasted good though!
