Well, Savannah has been cast in her school’s musical as Lady Rowena!  It is a small part, but Savannah is thrilled and we are thrilled for her to be able to participate.  She started 6:15am rehearsals this week.  Ugh, right?  Actually, it dulls her enthusiasm not one whit!  Anything to be able to sing and dance, I guess!  This is the play:

They will perform March 10-12 and 17-19.  Mark your calendars!  It should be fun!

We had another week of basketball.  No one had fun, though.  Mariah was mad after her game because she only made three baskets and in the first game she made seven, so therefore she is a bad player.  Megan was mad because they lost so therefore she is a bad player.  Sarah was okay, but please don’t talk to her about it because that would mean that she is a bad player, too!  Ah well, they all are looking forward to their games next week.  Go figure!  Bethany wishes she had a game next week, too! 

Mostly, I’ve been working on deep-cleaning my kitchen this week.  “Detailing” ya see.  I took the fan apart and cleaned it (really, fans in kitchens are NOT a good idea, can I just tell you?), then I cleaned all the walls and the things on the walls, and then I scrubbed all the outsides of the cupboards and oiled them.  Everything really needed it.  I have to tell you, though.  It’s not that I don’t look at it and see that it needs to be done, it’s just that there just has not been time.  Projects have to wait their turn around here.  Nonetheless, it makes me happy to see them clean.  :)

There was no school on Friday so the older girls went to see Tangled at the movie theatre.  They paid their own way.  It was very cool!  While they were there, I took the chance to take the twins and Bethany (and Ben by default) to McDonald’s.  They have been asking me lately with sad faces, “Mom, when are we going to go to McDonald’s again????”  What can I say?  When you are six years old, McDonald’s is at the top of the fun list (and the yum list too, apparently).  Anyway, it was a fun day all the way around.

I did forget to mention last week, that Cheyenne lost another tooth!

Her first tooth lost on the top!  She is growing up.  Fortunately, she is not growing up so much that she can’t still play with her little sister.  Is that a fancy tea party or what?
