Peter Pan and summertime

So I picked up a book at the library that I had seen at Barnes and Noble recently. I thought it would be a good book for K. to read, so I was planning to bring it along to the beach house for him. I opened it up last night to see "how it read" and whether I thought he would like it.

Let's just say I was up too too late reading - I'm totally sucked in and can't wait to get my hands on the book again today. It's called Peter and the Starcatchers, and is a prologue to the Peter Pan story we all know and love... in it, Captain Hook is called Black Stache, (he hasn't gotten his hook yet) and Peter hasn't discovered the magic he possesses... I'm totally immersed in the world of pirates and talking porpoises and treasure chests... Mmmm I LOVE a good book.

I love summer and the freedom to lose myself in a book... the kids (the two who are here) are playing together famously and I should be able to read all afternoon. What more could I ask for?

    Peter and the Star Chaser by Dave Barry & some other guy. Dave Barry is of course the funniest writer in the world. I can imagine his kids story would be good. Maybe Kylers book will be the most coveted book in the house. I'm reading "Searching for God Knows What" right now, a great book, but I doubt that is as much fun.

Phlumpyschlumpy.

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...

Missoula Children's Theater

Last week Savannah and Ethan were both cast in their school's Missoula Children's Theater production of Red Riding Hood. Savannah was cast as Mother Hood and the Grandmother, and Ethan was Robin Hood - the Hood family's cousin from England. After five days of intense rehearsing, (four and a half hours every day after school) they were ready for two shows on Saturday afternoon. It was so fun for them. And fun for me, as I was one of two parent volunteers with the privilege of being at every rehearsal. I come from my own childhood experience of many opportunities with theater and musicals, so watching them experience the thrill of performing was awesome. It was an amazing week. I'm so glad they had the chance to do it. I loved that instead of having to commit to weeks and weeks of rehearsals, they just had to do this one really intense week. A full scale musical production without a month of rehearsing and I didn't have to sew any costumes! That's my kind of pla...
