Busy Bees!

We like being busy. I think I actually function better physically and mentally when I am busy. This photo is from a play day we had with friends this past weekend. Lucy wasn't feeling really good. But just being around friends, hers and mine, lifts our spirits. This week promises to be crazy busy, but equally fun. Yesterday we started practices for a Missoula Children's Theatre production of Little Mermaid. Lucy will grace the stage as a tap-dancing, singing, neighing seahorse! Most of the kids in the production are not native English speakers, so they have been practicing their lines and songs once a week for about 3 months. This week, two professional actors from Montana are hear to add the movements, enthusiasm and costumes. Every day this week, we will practice from 5 to 9 after school. By Saturday, fully ready or not, they will do two performances at Kyushu Gakuin's Junior High School Hall. Wish us luck and extra doses of energy!
