The Music Man

I don't have any pictures yet from this but i must post about it.
One of the theater professors at Steven's work was helping direct the Jr High school play and needed and assistant director. Steven has interest in theater as well as a desire to have his students do short Spanish plays next year to get them out in the community more so needless ot say he volunteered.
The play was a time commitment but well worth the effort. The kids loved going to the practices when we were able to go. They loved watch the movie the music man. Jacob now walks around the house singing the songs and pretending he is in a marching band. (the kid can role his R's so well it amazes me) During this time was became all about acting in plays and singing songs.
For the performance I took the boys to the only matinee they were doing so that we weren't out to late with them and then Miranda went on a little date with daddy, out to eat then to the play for one of the other performance nights. The kids loved going behind stage and seeing and talking to the cast and when Jacob got to play the real drums and blow in the real trombone he was on cloud nine.
Like I said it was a large time commitment for Steven to help out but he loved it and it was well worth it for our kids to feel involved and see their daddy involved in the community. That is one of my favorite things about a small community, it is so easy to get involved. We have been more involved in the community in the 3 months we have lived here then we ever were in any other place we have lived. It is great!
