Can’t be MY kid!

| Stacy
Katriel and I joined Nan and Nene for dinner at Panera while the rest of the family was at The Sound of Music.
(Um – it was $17 for our dinner – and she just got a bagel!!!)
After we’d eaten our meal, I slid over the delicious double chocolate brownie I intended we share.  As soon as she saw this succulent, frosted confection she said, “I wahn happy-to-you; I wahn happy-to-you.”  Which, of course, means, “I want some of that cake.”

So I cut her off her first section of Happy-to-You.  And just then Nan returned from the counter with a dish of fruit.  She scooped out some for herself and gave Katriel the rest of the cup.

And my KID then turned her entire attention to the FRUIT.  FRUIT? over chocolatey brownie goodness!!!

Um.  Yeah.  I guess I should be happy she prefers fruit.  It’s just that… that is so wrong.
(I only eat fruit because I know it is “good for me”.  But – bleh.)

The Sound of Music & other musicals.

One of the local Christian high schools does an annual musical production.  Last year we went to see Annie.  There we learned that the school welcomes local homeschoolers to participate to expand the cast as needed.  The boys were eager to try-out.  And although their parts were small, they enjoyed the experience overall.
Nigel was one of the contestants in the final scene.  Stewart was, clearly, a Nazi. 
(I admit, I hesitate to share any photos of Stewart by himself on the internet.  The last thing I want is some future endeavor in his life foiled because someone mishandles a photo of him and brands him a Nazi.)

I watched the production three times.  That is far too many Do-Re-Mi’s.  Just sayin.’
The second night of the production John took Marie, Tabitha, and Johanna to Bath, NY to see The Secret Garden at Family Life Network.  It seems March is often punctuated by musical theater.  It’s a great way to survive winters.
