Seussical

Tonight was the opening night of

Seussical,

the musical at Sade's school.

This is how we spent the afternoon communicating... via white board! Sade stayed home from school yesterday with a stuffy nose and today came home with a sore throat! We wrapped up her throat, made her drink hot apple juice and communicate without talking!

(For her, this was the ultimate challenge!)

We got to the school 10 minutes before the doors were supposed to open, but they'd already been opened and all of the "good seats" were taken! We turned in our tickets and found the best seat possible!

The boys were such troopers waiting 40 minutes for the show to start! The theatre has flip-up desk tops, so that entertained Ayodele & Kayode most of the time! Derek, of course, had his phone, so he spent the time texting his friends without being bothered about whether or not he should be doing homework or "something!"

Sade played Mayzie La Bird... the obnoxious, flamboyant, selfish bird. She did a great job! We are so proud of her! I didn't take the video camera tonight as I am going three times in all. I wanted to be able to sit back and enjoy the show as well as figure out where I was going to switch tapes since the show is longer than our 60 minute tapes... I just couldn't resist recording Sade's songs with my camera, though... I hope you enjoy as much as we did! (Don't forget to stop the Christmas music on the side-bar before you play any of the following videos...)

We love you, Sade! We're so proud of you!
