Catch up time!

We have had a busy time here. Last week Connor's drama club at school put on the play Alice in Wonderland. It was fantastic. The majority of the parts were grade 5's but they performed like professionals. They did not use microphones and projected their voices so well. The enthusiasm they had was great. I, of course was a little partial to the White Rabbit. I saw it Wed night and Thurs afternoon. On Thurs afternoon, they were bringing in 1/2 the school to watch. All of a sudden one of the kids decides to throw up all over the gym floor around him and twice more on his way out. At least the play had not started yet. The poor teacher (Chantal McAlpine) had puke up her leg. But the play went off without a hitch. Fri night Sarah did the Relay for Life in Middleton with a team from her school. They took turns walking all night (to keep warm). She was very surprised about how many people did the survivor lap. I guess when you are a kid you really have no idea how big Cancer is. I was proud of her for wanting to do this and raising the sponsors. I went down at 1200 to take them some hot chocolate. I took a photo of the luminary I had bought in memory of my grandfather who died from cancer. It was very powerful to see the track lined all the way around with the luminaries. Man, was she tired the rest of the weekend. Yesterday, Sarah and I played on the trampoline. I want you to know that bouncing on that is exercise. I was sweating, and laughing so hard, nearly pee'd my pants. Got some great photos of Sarah in the air. Today, Sarah goes to the orthodontist for x-rays, pictures and impressions of her teeth. Then we go back in 2 weeks to see where we start. Of course the want the $280 today for the first two visits. I'll let you know how we make out with this process.
