May 5th-11th

It's been "Program Palooza" here at

The Fantastic Five this week...

Saturday began with dress rehearsal for the 

LAST 

His Kids program-

EVER...

His Kids

(our church's children's choir)

has been directed for the past 20 years

by one FANTASTIC woman named

Miss Carol.

She decided this would be her last program as director.

I have been her assistant director for the past

5 years,

and I am NOT going to take her position,

so Sunday evening was

THE LAST 

His Kids performance.

So-sad.

But it was a beautiful ending,

with a rockin' performance of the musical

"Go Go Jonah."

(I will say that a lovely young woman from our congregation

approached me about her and I taking over for Miss Carol,

and I am toying around with the idea-

but our "choir" will NEVER be as dramatically wonderful

as Miss Carol's was...)

******************************************

Monday morning brought

eye appointments for the kiddos.

Jungle Girl has had glasses since Kindergarten,

and since both myself and my husband 

wear glasses/contacts,

I felt it was wise to get the others' eyes

checked out too.

Turns out,

both Baby Girl and Little Wild Man are

"on their way"

to needing glasses.

(No surprise here!)

Their eyesight is not bad enough yet

to require glasses,

but yearly check-ups will be a MUST
for all the kiddos as they continue to grow...

***************************************

The rest of the week has been a 

"blow-off-school-so-the-girls-will-be-nice-and-rested-

for-their-five-dance-performances"

kind of week.

(We also attended a dear friend's 

Theater Experience Performance on 

Tuesday evening...)

They had three rehearsals

and one performance already,

with two more performances on the docket

for tonight.

I ALWAYS enjoy their performances-

it gives me a chance to see just how far they have

come in a year's time...

Now-

I am off to gel some hair into buns...
