Maxine's Summer Musical...

The activity that's been consuming the first month of summer has been Maxine's summer play rehearsals.  She auditioned for a musical play called, "Dear Edwina", and got the part of Edwina's best friend, Becky.  Becky is a cheerleader.  Practices were M-F for around 3 hours a day.

Every time Maxine got dressed up for the play, I couldn't believe how cute she looked as a cheerleader!  I wouldn't mind if she decided to do that in high school.

Maxine learned her lines well and sang well.  She did a great job but was bummed she didn't get a microphone.  I told her, "It's because you're loud and people can hear you without a microphone."  She did great but I'll be glad to have less schedule around here.

On a side note, I was telling the kids about tv dinners and it sparked a trip to the grocery store.  Merril was out of town so I didn't make a big dinner.  Maxine remarked that school lunch was better and that tv dinners were pretty bad.  I couldn't agree more.  This picture is before they ate, so they still look excited to chow down.  ;)
