Through The Looking Glass

Jaelynn and Jessica were in a play, Through the Looking Glass, at their school, Christine Donnell School of the Arts. They have a Drama teacher, Mrs. Smythe. The auditions were announced for 60 cast members and 120 kids turned out. The girls were very excited that they had made it in. I was now busier because I had to pick them up from rehearsal 2 or 3 times a week for 6 weeks at 5:30pm, the middle of dinner time.




Jaelynn was happy to be in the play but didn't like her itchy sparkle outfit or the makeup. She was a "Responsibility". In the play Alice becomes Queen and Jaelynn and the other girls come out to sing a song about the Queen's new responsibility.





Jessica loved her part a, "Dixie Chick". Humpty Dumpty happened to be in the play, I'm not sure why. He sang a song to Alice in country and Jessica and the other girls were the backup singers. This is what Jessica enjoys a lot. She loves singing and dancing. She said she would do it again. Look out High School here she comes.


I am so glad that my girls like this sort of thing. I never liked to do things that involved singing in front of people. Or at all for that matter. I was not able to do dancing either because I was on crutches every year since I was in the 4th grade. I don't feel that I missed out at all. I want them to be able to try anything they want to determine if they like it.

MY GIRLS ROCK! I LOVE YOU!
