One Week To Go…
Been really busy lately. When it gets time for the graduation show at our kindergarten everything goes out the window and all we are supposed to do is get them ready. The school wants the parents to see performances that make them think the kids can speak perfect English. My kids are good, but it’s hard to get 16 five and six year olds to pull off a 10-15 minute play with songs, dances and lots of lines. I’ve been stressed beyond belief over this and it’s only one week to go.
We do get to write our own plays, so mine is a mix of the Three Little Pigs and Red Riding Hood and The Beatles’ Yellow Submarine (also including music from Manfred Mann, Kermit the Frog, Warren Zevon and AC/DC). It’s a big mess and I can’t wait to see it finished. I have no voice from yelling (especially at Danny) and I just want it to be over and done with NOW!
The kids are bored with the play already so I brought in the video camera to get them excited over performing for other people. They did well (except for the wolves and Danny forgetting the cues) and I know they will do well (I hope).
So, since I have to be tortured by these two songs every day, five times a day, you can be too. So here they are, Eagle Class practicing for what could be a great show or a disaster…
I used to love those songs…now all I will think about when I hear them is Danny, driving me insane!!!
