Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there. ;^)
Mine was very nice, thank you. The main event is really next week when we have our May celebration, as today was Meredith and Margaret’s ballet performance.
It pains me to say my camera wasn’t up to the task. Margaret was the littlest Alice, the one who could fit through the door, and according to the others present, as soon as she came out from behind the mushroom she stopped dead when she saw the audience….this year the ballet was held in the Will Rogers Auditorium, which is significantly larger than the theater where it’s usually been held. She had a bit of a “deer caught in the headlights” look, but by jingo, she pulled herself together quickly and performed like the talented trooper she is.
After her turn as Alice, Margaret morphed into a butterfly:
What looks unnervingly like an alien is the Caterpillar.
Meredith was one of the Flamingos:
And she’s in here…
My poppets after the performance:
My thirst to be on stage is clearly growing exponentially, as that’s the only reason I can think of why I gave in to Meredith’s urging to go up with the Margo Dean alumni. I thought “alumni” meant ex-students of all sorts, but once up there I realized I seemed to be the only one who wasn’t expected by Ms. Dean. Give the woman her due, she handled my presence with aplomb, even remembering that my nieces were in her ballet. Meredith took a photo of the group of us; daresay you can pick me out:
Here’s a photo Jessica sent me via her cell phone, of her and her girls, Kirsten, Bridgette (being a squirmy wormy), and Brianna.
