The Play's the Thing

An update....all the puppies have been sold except the one we are keeping. Her name is Baby Bella and she looks just like her mama. It is remarkable how well she has taken to house training. She is rambunctious and wild as young pups should be. The Yorkie and the pup are at extreme odds these days. Precious does not find the humor in a clumsy ball of energy trying to tackle her. Baby Bella outweighs Precious by more than half so you see the reason for fear on the Yorkie's part.

Tim's mom is here for a few weeks and she got to attend a play last night that DD is in. She plays Anita in West Side Story. I didn't get to go last night but I intend on going tonight with Deb and Dave. From all the reviews, DD does a fabulous job. They have no microphones so her training in projection really helps her be heard. She also has some dance scenes and dancing was never her thing but they say she did very well. I am so excited for her.

DS #1 is still in the Outer Banks with the Academically Gifted English class. They will be back tonight. They left Weds. morning and traveled all the way east and then south spending the night along the way. He has called me three times so far. One time was for permission to take and Advil due to a headache. Poor guy. He is such a homebody and does not do well if he stays up late at night. I bet this is what happened. Anyway....

DS#2 was quite impressed with his sister's performance. I think he saw a new side to her. He really wants to stay home from school today, but I won't let him. He missed school Monday picking up his Grandmama.

After the play last night we celebrated Mrs. W's birthday with cake and presents. I think she was surprised! What fun. Sadly though, DS#3 missed the festivities as he fell asleep long before they all got home. I had to stay home with him as both babysitters were in the play, DD and Hannah. As with most things we do, we must attend in shifts. Ha ha.

Well, better run do laundry. We are drowning in it. I can barely get into the laundry room. Ciao for now.
