Dolly

We had our first dress rehearsal last night.
A girl sat in some paint, I got most of it off.
A button came off a vest, One of boys tore his pants. One of the waitresses tore her red jacket.
I forgot some of the costumes and came home.
I forgot the judges out fit so will bring it tonight.
We lost one of the Civil war hats so will have to replace it.
The kids were eating pizza in their costumes.
Dolly's bustle was on sideways.
What will happen tonight?
Stay tuned..

Halloween day

Andrew had his last fall soccer games yesterday. We traveled to Boardman, Oregon which is on the high desert beside the Columbia River. Our guys played well for about twenty five minutes and then fell apart. The guys from Boardman were very good. We did manage to score one goal against them. We played on the potato field. They were harvesting taters.

Our house has been busy with costume customers all week. I advertised in the local paper and it worked. I had thirty one rentals and some trades, including a massage.

Andrew had a choir concert on Thursday night. They sang “Grim Grinning Ghosts,” (which is from the Haunted Mansion DVD, I can't find mine I lent it to someone) “Guardians of a Dream” and “Cantar.” They sounded really good as a combined seventh and eighth grade choir of about 50 kids. We forgot to take the camera, so no pictures.
Friday we had our traditional Halloween activities at school. Bruce always get to lead the costume parade, he went as Merlin. Most of the kids thought he was some wizard from a currently popular cartoon series. Since we do not follow TV, we have no idea what they were talking about. When Bruce told them he was Merlin, most had no idea what he was talking about. “The times they are a changin’.”
