CINDERELLA

well i can sum up this last week (and several months) with one word...CINDERELLA!!!  my sister Diana had this great idea to direct a school play and allow an opportunity for kids to act, sing and dance....and she roped me in along for the ride!!  even after many stressful practices, hours and late nights, i am so grateful i was able to go on the wild roller coaster experience with her!  We started rehearsals way back in September, and the show seemed eons away, but man this year flew by and before we knew it, it was time for the show.  Blaine auditioned and got the role of king....my nieces were also casts as Fairy Godmother, evil step mother, and Jake played a town boy.  

 we were not allowed to take pictures or video during the show (due to copy right laws), but i was able to sneak a few pictures during practice and back stage!

 Blaine as a townsperson and the King

 Me and my crazy sister Diana before out final performance....we were still alive and standing at that point!  she was an amazing director and did such a great job with the kids.  i pretty much just ran around back stage like a chicken with my head cut off making sure everything ran smoothly on stage...my job was just to make the kids look good!!  mission accomplished!

 Becca as stepmother and Sara as Fairygod mother...how great were these costumes, and can we say attitude?!! i love it!

i feel so blessed to have this experience and watch all these talented kids grow and make new friendships.  i am super proud of Blaine who came out of his shell and made an awesome king.  my sister is already talking about next year's show...i might need a few more months off before i commit to another show, but i know that one will be great too!  way to go Diana!  you are amazing and all your hard work truly paid off...these kids were AWESOME~
