Dawn,

Aren't those plays so funny. Sounds like a blast. Eilish did her's

last week and spent the whole time kneeing the boy in front of her in

the back as she kept trying to push her of the theatre stage. These

tapes will be a treasure to look back on.

Christmas play survival

Woohoo, we finally made it through our annual children's Christmas play.

It was a hoot. We had our head angel forget to be wired for sound, so he

had to shout. One of the preschool sheep pulling all the tails of the

other animals in the barn until one of the donkey's lost theirs.

(my 7-year-old) got bored and is sure he caught on video

what looks like an angel practicing Tae Kwon Do hand blocks. Near the

end of the play the stable walls (made from foam board) cracked and fell

down. (I didn't think Jesus was born in Jerico?) The piece that took

the cake though was one of the preschooler's costumes... The

preschoolers were dressed as sheep, donkeys, cows, and camels. You will

never guess what the director of the play let her very spoiled daughter

come as... and I giggle every time we think about it. Are you ready

to guess

....

A PIG!!! So in honor of this little faux paux I have composed another

verse to the song sung by our little animals last night. It is to the

tune of the " Friendly Beasts "

I said the little pig unclean

I was brought as a gift by a gentile king

Not knowing the Jews would find me obscene

I said the little pig unclean.

:-) I'm not being mean, just rolling with the funniness of it all. You

also have to understand the mindset of the director, for whom everything

must be perfect.
