The kids had their children's choir performance Wednesday evening at church. They each did a fantastic job. The play was called "Get to the Manger"; a story about a group of kids going to the mall, handing out candy canes and praying with mall employees. Walker was Pastor Neil and Garrett was a mall employee. Laine sang her heart out in the choir. It was great and everyone did a fabulous job spreading the Love of Jesus.
Coy took the boys to a local restaurant to watch the Bronco game while Laine, Kylie and I stayed home. There was a balloon artist at the restaurant so Daddy had a special hat made for Laine, a monkey in a palm tree. The only way the guy would make it for Daddy is if he would wear it? Wish I had a picture of that ;)
The Warren Acting Company's latest performance was Seussical the Musical. Walker played Horton the Elephant and the story line followed loosely the Horton Hears a Who movie with added Dr. Seuss characters like, Cat in the Hat. Walker did a wonderful job playing a very sad elephant. So much so that Laine cried during intermission of his first performance because she was so sad for Horton.
Laine's first dance recital was outside in a park as part of the Umatilla Christmas Cracker Festival and Parade. She danced to "Jingle, Jingle, Jingle" and did a great job. She knew all of her steps but forgot to smile. Mommy caught her eye one time and she gave us a quick smile then it was back to business. We all can't wait for the big recital in the Spring.
Garrett is really enjoying soccer. He moved up a level this year so he isn't scoring quite so many goals but has had his fair share. He is fast and all over the field. It can be hard to watch and keep track of where he is. Sometimes so many feet are flying, you don't know who scored the goal until Garrett runs down the field fists in the air. Go Garrett !!
Sunday we went to Disney World for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween party. It was awesome. It was a hot day and we thought wearing a costume for the whole evening would be hard so we decided to go as Bronco fans. Everyone loved the Bronco dress Grandma Sally made Laine and she was called the "Bronco Princess". We went to the Disney Barber Shop and got our festive "Hair-dos" and even a bit of pixie dust. We went with our friends the Simpsons and had the best evening.
This weekend was Walker's performance of Once on This Island. He played Papa Ge, the Demon of Death. He also played Daniel's Father on his off nights filling in for a boy that couldn't commit and do a good job. He wore all white as Daniel's Father trying to imitate a wealthy Caribbean Grande Homme. Walker did great in both roles and was convincing as a strict Father and an evil demon. (Hard to believe our sweet Walker could be so evil). Photos are on the website www.warrenactingcompany.com
