Maddy had her audition for the musical put on by the Oregon City Children's Theatre of Peter Pan this last weekend. She has been talking about this audition for about three months! She has been practicing and practicing!
The audition was postponed for about two weeks and Maddy was on pins and needles ever since. She kept telling me she was super nervous and I really wasn't sure how she was going to handle the situation. Anyway the audition went on for a few hours and she got cast as......MICHAEL! The littlest of the darling family. She was SOOO excited! She actually gets a speaking role and the best part is that she gets to fly, she is so excited! They are going to have the main roles fly around on cables and she gets to do that. It was funny though because the director asked if she would be willing to cut her hair or if she needed a wig. I think we are going to opt for a wig!
I know my kids are definitely not shy and everyone is always saying that I should get them into drama some how. But I still have to say I was shocked that she actually got cast as a pretty big part! I kept telling her that she would probably be cast as a lost boy or something because I didn't want to get her hopes up, but she actually got a part! I can't even explain how excited she is! The performances are at the end of February so if you want to come mark your calendar! We are so proud and excited for you Maddy!And I am thinking that maybe I need to sign Josey up for snow boarding lessons?! She has no fear. And that end comment is, "Did you see that jump?"

Congrats to Maddy- that's great that she gets to do that, and of course flying would be the best part! Christmas looked like fun in your house- the tent beds are really cute! My arm has finally recovered and gotten used to the wii- how sad is it that I was going to have to go to the gym just to boost my strength in my arm to play wii with the kids?!

our birds received kind language from me for christmas instead of the usual SHUUUUUTTTT UUUUP!!!!! because they are so loud. also, we obviously pretty much spent our whole savings on little toys and such for them to play on. they really are so special... and so smart... just like your children!
