New Leaf!

Was just noticing that my miracle orchid plant is growing a new leaf! I have been so busy with family and work, etc that I hadn't noticed before...hmmmm

Seu-Seu-Seussical!

There's a faraway land

So the stories all tell

Somewhere beyond the horizon.

If we can find it

Then all will be well,

Troubles there are few,

Someday, we'll go to...

Wow! We were blown away by all of the children's performances in Artworks Academy's production of Seussical! Amazed were we that our littlest ones, the Beginning Musical Theatre kiddos could keep up with the dancing and singing of the older performers for 2 WHOLE HOURS (with a 15 min intercession)! We started the week not having a clue about what to expect because practices have been top secret (it seems) and witnessing the work behind the scenes at rehearsal was pretty intense at times, especially trying to keep the young 5-6 yr olds entertained while they waited for their time on stage. That time period was hairy, but balanced out nicely with the great performances. We could tell that our little one loved being up on stage singing and dancing. She was so pleased when "Horton" told her that she's done a great job! Even now, 2 weeks later I still can't get the songs out of my head!'

Cause I have wings.Yes, I can fly

Around the moon

And far beyond the sky

And one day soon

I know there you'll be

One small voice in the universe

One true friend in the universe

Who believes in me...

Even though the performance was great and we thought Emi was a perfect little Who (on stage that is), we are glad that the rehearsals and practices are over with for the summer. We need a break!

Ba-Cock!

Tonight we made some easy curry chicken salad from a recipe I found on Not Martha -- and it was de-lish! We used chicken from 1 rotisserie chicken, frozen peas (thawed), 3 stalks celery chopped, roasted cashews, 2 garlic cloves (pressed), Lemonaise, Madras Curry powder and a little fresh lemon juice. After mixing it all up, we served it on a bed of spring greens on a tortilla. Next time I think I will add a little salt and perhaps serve the salad on a thinner wrap. Will definitely keep this recipe in my repertoire!

Lake Party 2008

So we survived our 9th Annual (Life is Good) Lake Party yesterday. It was a lot of fun and bigger than ever this year... Our friends and family helped spread good vibes with the help of some home made sangria. In the picture below I am using a strange device that my dad received as a gift to open the wine. You stick the needle into the cork and then pump this thing until the cork pops off.
