Margie is back at rehearsals for the One Act festival, which she is producing.
Lyn had piano on Tuesday as usual, plus ballet and Activity Day on Wednesday.
The members of the chess club that are going to the tournament are still meeting on Thursdays, but since John is only an alternate, he won't be joining them yet.
Friday was pajama day at school--the kids had fun getting up and going straight to school without even putting any clothes on!
After the kids left for school, Margie headed down to the river for a 10 mile bike ride--the weather was beautiful, and the scenery was gorgeous.
Now heading into the weekend...
Some time ago, Margie was asked to put together a musical number for a women's conference at church. She and a friend chose to sing the duet "For Good" from the musical Wicked.
Friday night they got together to practice, and Saturday morning they performed as part of the program and luncheon. People later told them they had gotten "chills" from the performance. It was fun to get to sing a secular song at a church event!
The conference also included a showing of the following very funny and poignant movie about Visiting Teaching. Visiting Teaching is a program in our church that provides for "every woman to be visited in her home and to receive instruction, fellowship, and needed assistance from fellow sisters." As you'll see from the video, we don't always take it as seriously as we should--the movie was a good reminder!
Saturday night, Dan and Margie went to opening night of Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde at LTA. It was VERY good, but very deep and intense--not light entertainment! We HIGHLY recommend it, though, especially if you have a passion for civil rights.
The opening night party was sold out, so we didn't get to attend and headed instead to Applebee's after the show for a little snack. Dan ordered a coconut milkshake, which was surprisingly amazing. If you like coconut, be sure to get one the next time you are there.
Special thanks to Gene and Cecile (Dan's dad and his wife) for babysitting so that we could spend a little time away together! The kids had fun with Opa and Grandma Ceci making crafts and feasting on a "midnight" snack of bread and apricot jam (which, John says, "Tasted surprisingly like cake!").
This morning we accidentally slept in and missed church--oops! Well, we had fun hanging out in our pajamas.
Lyn has spent most of the weekend working hard on her monthly school project--this time she was learning about rivers around world. For her special focus, she picked the Yellow River in China--known as "China's Pride" (because it was the birthplace of chinese civilization) and "China's Sorrow" (because of its frequent flooding).
Margie headed out to McLean this afternoon to audition for Oliver. She sang a portion of "Goodbye, Emil" from Romance/Romance and it went very well. In fact, since due to the One Acts she is unable to attend the callbacks this week, they had her stay and sing and read for "The Widow Corney," which is exactly the part she was trying out for. We should have the results in our post next week!
Well, that's it for us. We hope you are doing well!
