Frumpled Fairy Tales Performance


Last weekend, Brishen performed in his ninth ACT (A Children's Theatre) play. They had four shows on Friday and another one on Saturday. Brishen was The Prince in "Rapunzel" and The Grey Man in "Dummling and the Golden Goose." His prince character also had a cameo in "Red Riding Hood." He was a bit embarrassed to be a prince who had to actually touch a girl in a touching farewell scene--it was very funny. The grainy pictures are the best I could do to get a few shots of him during the performance. The really, really nice pictures were taken by a professional photographer who held a photo shoot a couple weeks before the show and donated her time and all the pictures for free. Brishen's prince costume was not yet complete when she took the professional ones, but you can sort of make out the rest of his costume in the super-dark, grainy picture I took of him walking across the stage.













Robin gave Basia this shirt for Christmas. You can change the message on the front and back, so we chose a message just for watching Brishen's play.

Where did she find that shirt?? That is great!! I'm not sure how any of my children would manage to keep it clean all day, but what a fun gift!!

I'll ask her if she'll reveal her source.

Oh, and Basia definitely does not keep it clean. She came in one day with it covered in dirt. I washed and washed and washed to get it to look reasonably nice again!

Brishen's Birthday, Too

  We were in Sacramento on Brishen's birthday, but we made it home to celebrate the next day.  He wanted green chile potato corn chowder...
