Izzy....isms

The other day the kids were discussing what it would be like if we used real wolves in my production of "Beauty and the Beast", instead of the safer version of people dressed up in wolf costumes. Izzy's comment to that was, "That would freak me out. Like REALLY freak me out!"

I picked her up from preschool one day only to notice her crazy hair. I commented on it, knowing full well that I had styled it quite stylishly before school, and asked where her barette was. Her exasperated answer was "that barette was driving me crazy!"

One night she was playing with the Polly Pockets (smaller version of Barbies, just for your gee whiz file) and after getting one dressed commented matter-of-factly to Wade, "These clothes are not modest. They're not going to cover her garments at all." :)

Cleaning alien

I knew it had been a while since I had cleaned the house when my husband, coming home and finding me vaccuuming asked, 'Who are you and what have you done with my wife?' and then looking deep into one eye as if searching for his lost wife in this alien cleaning body shouted, Last of the Mohican-style, 'You stay alive! No matter what occurs, I WILL find you!!' :P

"Christmas Carol" the third

We were cast in "Christmas Carol" at the Terrace Plaza Playhouse! I am playing Mrs. Cratchit, Abby is playing Sarah Cratchit, Ethan is playing Tiny Tim, Olivia is playing Kathy Cratchit, and Isabelle is playing the cold girl ("I'm so cold, sir!") and a baby ballerina. :) We're super excited to start rehearsals!!
