The final curtain

Well, the final curtain fell and as is generally the case, the second performance was more polished than the first. We still have a crappy sound system that never seems to come through, but other than that, it went pretty smoothly tonight. We ran out of chairs to set up so we had a packed house again and really appreciated all the community support.

The kids did a great job and there weren't too many bloopers this time. Zucco crashed his cardboard car (a box that said "this is a car") at the end of the race and fell over in it and had to be helped up (kinda like watching a tellatubby) so that was pretty funny, but most of it was just the normal funny stuff plus the singing and dancing.

It's always bittersweet when it's over. Relief and sadness at the same time. They are already talking about next year and wanting to do Robin Hood or Peter Pan or Wizard of Oz. I don't want to think about it right now.

So those were my happy thoughts today. My sad thoughts were with Jackie and her mom who had an aneurysm in her brain yesterday. They operated this morning and only gave her a 30% chance of making it. Sent out messages to get the prayers going for the surgery. She made it through, but they might have to go in again. We will all keep her in our prayers, as well as her family. We love you Jackie!

Had to call the kids to get the prayer train going because they're all up in the mountains at Pine for Easter. We're usually up there with all of them too, but had the play today. Seems very weird and quiet without all of them. I will be happy when they're home. I know they have fun up there though. It will make for a quiet Easter with just the husband and I. Might have to go see mom and dad.
