"Night and Day it's Cinderelly..."







Their schedule the past few months has been sleep, seminary, school, practice, nap and homework... every day. All the hard work paid off. The musical, "Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella" was a beautiful production. We are so happy that the girls were able to participate and had such a great time of it. After a lot of make-up sleep Sunday they are ready to get on with hum drum everyday life.






(gasp) The Prince is Giving a Ball!



































Who will win the tug of war and try on the slipper first?






















It took 38 bobby pins and 8 ponytail holders to take two braids from the base of their necks and secure it around their heads... too much hair to hold up in all that dancing!







The cast all get a mini poster and sign it for each other, ala yearbooks. I couldn't afford to buy each girl a bouquet so I bought some silk daisies and wired pictures of them in the play to the stems. I must admit I have a few good ideas now and then.

They are so adorable! Please don't tell me they were the ugly step sisters...SO far from reality! If I had been there I would have fought over the glass slipper too though! You are a good mommy to let them sleep too!

Michael had two interviews today. Something's got to happen soon! We are still love, love, loving him being around!

Cute girls, cute pictures and I really love the bouquet, what a clever idea, I hope I can remember it. The play looks very fun, the costumes look amazing and the hair must have been perfect!! What a wonderful experience for all, especially mom and dad!

Thanks for including so many photos so I could check out the costumes! I wish I could have seen the girls--they look so cute. How many kids were in the cast? Cute idea with the picture bouquets.

I feel their pain in resuming real life and trying to "catch up" on sleep. Not an easy task . . . .
