I don't really have anything in particular I wanted to write about; however, I have a minute while the girls are working quietly. I hated to waste the time. ;)
We're doing well here. There is always something to do or somewhere to be, but life is good. This week we are attending another play at CCT, "Goodnight Moon". The girls are excited and Jesse keeps asking who all is going to go. I really don't know, so she'll have to see when she gets there. It will be nice to see Jim and Jerry again. It feels like an eternity since we've been. We'll be doing the CCT S.T.A.R. show in November. The girls are not performing, but they will be handing out playbills and I'm working the concession stand. We should have a lot fun doing it.
We are gearing up to paint the front porch. I admit I could put it off another year or so, but it is beginning to look pretty shabby. John is going to power wash it for us; the girls and I are going to paint it. I'm hoping this turns out to not be a bad idea. lol
Jesse is back at the library, but I have to admit it is just not the same. I'm still trying to figure out who is permanent and who is a temp. And don't even begin to ask me people's names...I haven't got a clue! The only good thing is school is back in session so it is much quieter than it has been. Of course, that helps Chloe to focus on getting her school work done, which makes my life easier.

As promised!
AND on the day I promised them. LOL
Here is Jesse's drawing for the play for CCT STAR's Talent Show in April to benefit Oliver Gospel Mission.
Jesse has already been asked by several people if she traced the map. I thought I would include a picture of the globe she used to draw from, with the picture she drew. Obviously, no tracing was involved. She did, however, do this picture different than most of her artwork. This one she did in pencil first, then traced it with the pen. I think she did very well. And I have to say I'm glad she didn't make the US in the middle of her map. I think most would, but she tends to think outside the box. And since this is for a charity organization I feel it was more appropriate this way.

What a weekend!!
Yesterday, we had our second meeting of CCT STAR. The students chose their charity, Oliver Gospel Mission. And they chose the winning artwork for the cover of the playbill. Jesse's art! I cannot tell you how happy that made her. (I'll post a picture of it tomorrow.) Now, all I have to do is keep it safe until late April when it will need finishing touches and off to the printer it will go. No problem. Right?! {fingers crossed}
Today, we went to Kershaw Fine Arts Center to see my friend Candy's directorial debut. The show was fantastic and we all had a great time. They did Aladdin. John was worried it would be the same show our nephew, Lawson, was in last year, but it was a totally different script. No musical, just hysterical! We can't wait to see what her next show will be. :)

Catching up #7 - A little something more for our calendar
Of course our calendar is already full!! And yes, we just added something else to it. (Go ahead and laugh now.)
I mentioned this briefly a few posts ago (the one for Beauty and the Beast). We are going to be part of a charity organization through Columbia Children's Theatre, called CCT S.T.A.R. (Student Thespians Achieving Results). I love the idea of this program, though admittedly we don't have a lot of extra time these days.
The first meeting was in February. And the first show is going to be with just homeschoolers. Mrs. Pamela's thoughts were we (homeschoolers) have a more flexible schedule and can meet on days others cannot. Since the first show is going to be in May, she wanted to have some flexibility with the meeting dates. During (or after, I'm confused a bit here) the show, the program will be opened up to all those who would like to participate.
The first show is going to be a talent show. Our girls are going to do two skits. One skit they are creating with friends of theirs (yes, they have some) about "the other dwarfs". They are still working on a skit, but I think it is going be pretty good. The other skit will be just Jesse and Chloe doing an "invisible woman" skit. I don't think they have started writing it down yet, but they have been working on ideas during car rides. Both should be fun. I cannot wait to see what the other talented students are going to come up with, but I know it is going to be a good show.
Now, you ask, "what charity are you supporting"? Well, that has not been determined yet. We have a meeting this weekend. The students are suppose to give a presentation for the charity they would like to support. After all the students give their presentations, a vote will be made and then we will know what charity we will be supporting. (Don't even ask me if they have a charity or a presentation yet! And Mrs. Pamela wanted it by today!!!) {sigh}
Right up Jesse's alley is a contest for the cover of the playbill. I have to admit I really love Jesse's idea. Those will be voted on Saturday also.
I hope now you see how busy we have truly been here. I admit after typing all of these updates I undersatnd why I'm ready for another vacation! :) And I'm not done updating you yet. :) Still a bit more to come, then we can get back to here and now. :)

Changes, changes, changes
Dad has now had five days of treatment. He is doing well. I talked to him last night; he sounded good, but tired. He has two more days of treatment then he'll get a few weeks off.
The girls had rehearsal tonight, as most nights. But tonight was a bit different. When I went to sign the girls out, my friend Candy told me Jesse had a spill but she was not the worst injured. At first, I thought she was kidding. She went on to say that Jesse butted heads with another girl. Candy said they hit so hard Jesse fell backwards on her butt. I was very happy she fell backwards (we have reviewed, lots of times, how to fall in taekwondo). Jesse is fine. However, the other girl's cheek met Jesse's hard head. She instantly had a knot. Poor girl. I imagine tomorrow night her face will be black and blue.
John and I attacked our kitchen today. I am not sure if we'll wind up missing a few things but changes were made. We got rid of the coffee maker. John wants a French press. We moved the trash can, microwave and the cat/dog food. We finally broke down and trashed the non-stick pots that were beginning to stick. John even went out tonight and bought us a new set of pots and pans, BLUE ones. :) The breakfast bar chairs are also gone. The cart that did have the microwave is going out into the garage for me to use for my gardening supplies. We still need to find homes for a few things, but it looks very open now.
I was invited to be part of a Parental Advisory Board for a new group, CCT STARS. The group is for theatrical students to put on shows to raise money for local charities. Our first show will be in a talent show in May. I have to admit I am not sure what I can add to this group of really outgoing women, but I am honored that Pamela thought to include me. I think my learning curve will be going to be huge!
