What? It's Thursday? Seriously??
Okay, I'd been hoping to get back to the blog before now, but I guess that's one of those best laid plans. Eaten by mice!
At any rate, I can't even say I've been particularly busy. I have been desperately trying to catch up on things that need doing around the house. I am still VERY SLOWLY painting the neighbor's side of the fence. I think today I managed another four slats. And just to completely irritate her, I started on the opposite end. To be fair, one of her other workers has propped some doors and such that they're working on in the middle of the section I was supposed to do next, but I probably could have moved them if I'd been so inclined. But, as I've said elsewhere, I'm a lazy neighbor.
Today Shawn and I went to see Mason perform "Chicken Little" at Crossroads. He was originally supposed to be Ducky Lucky, but he switched to Goosey Loosey. I must say, in my completely biased opinion, Mason's group was the most polished and easiest to hear/understand. To be fair, his is the advanced reading group, and the teacher Ms. Miller, chose a piece that was short and repetative. The first graders were SUPPOSED to do their own play, but apparently it got cancelled for being to chaotic. So, it was three classes of second graders (Mason is in first grade, but is pulled out for second grade advanced readers.) The first group did Gingerbread Man and, I have to say, they were pretty cute. The last did a folktale about why it's cold in winter, which, unfortunately, I didn't understand in the least. There were a lot of missed/hurried/mumbled lines and, as it wasn't a story I was familiar with, so I ended up sort of baffled. But, despite that, they had the best effects and costumes.
Shawn took a couple of shots at the show, so if I get a chance, I'll try to post them. Got to go get the little guy now.
