The twins and I started off the week by going on a Preschool fieldtrip. We got to go see the musical play of Frog and Toad. It was great fun! I am happy to say that the play with talented, silly actors singing songs and tap dancing, was much more entertaining than the books upon which the play was based. I'm not a big fan of Frog and Toad books but now I am a fan of the play! The twins had great fun. They sat with their friends and they each got a cup of popcorn, a drink box, and a candy (for one dollar!). We only had to leave for the bathroom once for each of them -- unfortunately, not at the same time. All in all, a successful outing.
We got home to find out that Sarah needed to come home early from school because she wasn't feeling well. Megan had been sick Friday through Sunday and Monday was her first day back at school. Sarah was sick all week. Hopefully she will make it back to school tomorrow. Now I am sick. I got sick Friday. Beth seems to have it, too. The twins have both been sick, too, but since they hardly ever slow down, even when they don't feel well, it is harder to pinpoint. So, if you count when Savannah was sick during her birthday, then we have all been sick except Mariah and Dad. Ugh, ugh, ugh. We are not used to this much sickness around here. Hopefully this will be the last of it.
Savannah came home from school this past week and told us that she had tried out for a solo in one of her choir songs. "I don't think I did too well, though," she said, grinning sheepishly.
"Ah, come on!" we said. "Of course you did well! Why do you think that?"
"Because no on clapped for me!" she said and laughed.
Kevin and I just looked at her in amazement. People have gone to therapy for lesser cause than that. Who puts themselves out on a limb like that, fails, and then it totally doesn't bother them? Who I ask you! Only our Savannah.
Those were actually only "practice tryouts." She went ahead and tried out for real the next day. The teacher had the class vote on who got the parts and Savannah reported that the most popular girls got the parts. She shrugged. She didn't care. No therapy for her in the very near future. Wow! She is so resilient! It is amazing to see! She is our very own Stargirl (which is a book, by the way). We love her. She wore this to school the other day:
She hasn't changed too much from the free spirit she has always been!

That picture on the trampoline reminds me so much of a Maya outfit. I've often wondered what she'll come up with when she's older. Usually she prances downstairs in a dress of some sort, tap shoes (yesterday tap shoes worn over flip flops), tights, crown, and goggles. We've set the bar very low as far as what's an acceptable outfit, but she still often needs some last-minute adjustments. If she's not getting out of the car, then anything goes, but if other people will see her, I do have to draw the line!
