It has been a great few days.† Kei had auditions for 101 Dalmatians.† She has been in this play before, when she was 7.† She was a chihuahua.
She auditioned with “Hard Knock Life” from Annie.† She did a great job.† Chan tried out too and she did a great job.
Chan went home with us for 6 days!† We were both so excited.† The girls had a blast playing.† They cut up the Popcorn pumpkin from Halloween.
The next day it got so cold!† Freezing cold.† They dressed up warmly to go to the creek to see if it was frozen.† It took them longer to get ready than they stayed outside.
We went to see if they got roles in 101 Dalmatians.† As you can see, they did!† Kei got the role of Horace, one of Cruella’s henchmen.† It was the role she really, really wanted. Chan is Pepper the Dalmatian.
We also made Mystery Bars from my friend’s Theresa’s blog.† If you have never had these, you must try them.
It was so cold they played a lot of Webkinz.† Kei sat up her laptop next to my computer and they played for hours.
Kei also started a thread on Webkinz Insider about cyber-bullying in Kinz chat plus.† The last time she checked 507 people had read it!† I was so proud of her.† She looked up facts and figures about cyber-bullying, how prevalent it is, how most kids do not tell their parents.† Here is Manny her spokesman for the thread, reading it.
Thursday we had a get together for Jane Austen’s birthday.† We all brought books to swap, had tons of food, had a egg drop, made Art Cards, chatted for hours and had a blast.† We are so lucky to have our Roamies [What we call our homeschool group].† We also had to leave Chan since her Mother really wanted her back.
Esther got the girls and draped Christmas lights all around them.† It was so beautiful.
I think Jane would have been very proud of us.
We have the greatest people in our lives.† Almost every day something happens that Kei and I just say, ‘Thank you God for [insert names here].
I have a lot more to say about the past few days but I am going to split this into 2 posts.
3 days until Christmas.† Am I finished?† Well of course not.† But I will get it done, I always do. 🙂
Happy Holiday Week,
Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful. ~Norman Vincent Peale

And thinking of Kei as a villian?
Typecasting?
