"Scenes from a Middle School Play"

{But, for my fellow "Lost" addicts...I have just three words for last night's episode: "Un Stinkin' Believable!" These shows are killing me this season. They are SO good! I am already having withdrawal symptoms anticipating the absence of episodes for several weeks after next week's show. My only consolation? I will have my other Huge Obsession to entertain me during those times. March Madness will be in full swing and I will be watching basketball as much as I can!}

Okay, on to the primary objective of my post for today: to share some pictures from Delaney's middle school production last night. The play was SO good and Delaney did such a GREAT job! They performed last night for the parents, and today they perform for the entire school (Delaney was a little bit nervous about that this morning!). I am so proud that Delaney has just stepped into middle school with almost no fear and gotten involved in things. I think there were five sixth graders in the play (out of 18 cast members), so I was so proud of her for stepping up and stepping out to do something she loves.

The play was called "Laffin School" and is about a class of rambunctious first graders. The teacher has an observer come to class and is worried that her students won't behave. Let's just say that they DON'T and lots of laughs ensue. Delaney played little Peggy, who told some pretty corny jokes and thought that the Big Bad Wolf ate the apple she brought to her teacher. :-)

A few scenes of other actors...




And some scenes with my favorite actress... Delaney ... in them. (Her facial expressions kill me!)






Of course, Sydney had to go "on set" and pose at a student's desk and ring the "teacher"'s bell...

It was a FUN, fun night!!!

And, now, my plans for the weekend include:

* Making some pretty pink cupcakes for a baby shower for my niece.
* Having Sunday lunch at Gary's parents'. I am anticipating pot roast and mashed potatoes and other good Southern food. Yum!
* Watching conference tournament games most of the day today, then watching Selection Sunday to get ready for the NCAA tourney. I love March Madness (even though Bama won't be in it... I got me some other teams to cheer for!).
* Going to our Easter Egg Hunt at church. (Can you believe Easter is coming so soon?)
* Anticipating the fact that next week is Spring Break. We have got some FUN stuff planned!

What are your plans for the weekend? Anything exciting?

Thanks, as always, for popping by. You are some of my favorite people in the world {smile!}. And I hope you all have a WONDERFUL weekend. See you on the other side!

Awww great pics!!! LOST was fantastic!!!!!!! I love how they tried to fool us with a flashback of Jin!!!!!! Not too much going on this weekend....I don't think! LOL

Jenster said...

Great pictures! What fun. My daughter is in her first school play in a few weeks. We're quite excited. :o)

LOST! Oh.My.Gosh! I love that show because one can never figure out what's going on. Though I wasn't surprised to see Michael. I figured it was either him or Walt.

But Sun & Jin?? *sigh* I was so happy they worked things out. And then the end? Just gives me more questions.

I think Sydney could have played the part of one of the students! She is such a cutie. I think all the girls are taking after their mother!!

I'm not into LOST though my very dear friend is. Me, I'm into Jericho and sometimes I find it tiresome. Have a great weekend!!

HOW FUN! I bet the play was GREAT! I love the expressions on Delaney's face! LOL It's so cool that you actually got the photos that you did! She will remember that play forever!

No big plans this weekend. I am hoping to get into my craft room to organize it some more. I gotta take "baby steps" in there, because I get so overwhelmed by all of the junk (ummmmmmmm I mean wonderful scrapbooking supplies) I have! LOL

Maybe, I will play with my new Cuttlebug Embossing folder (Swiss Dots) I was so excited when I got the call that they had come in! It's always fun to get new toys!

Ok, I am so loving the pix from the play. I promise you, when I first started looking at the pictures, I thought one of the girls was McKenna! LOL

Looks like Delaney did an awesome job. The pix look great!

Delaney is SO cute. I can't get over those facial expressions. Priceless. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. I actually got to scrapbook which makes this weekend a minor miracle!

Adriann said...

Love the pics of the play! It looked like a professional performance.

I guess, I'm going to have to check out Lost. I keep hearing a lot about it. I'm the type to get on the train late. For example, I started watching 2 years ago by renting it and became very addicted. LOL!
