Production Values

Here's Madison in the car, ready to go.  And that's what we did today:  go, go, go!

The flurry of activity is increasing - today was our first dress rehearsal (there's another on Thursday), so we got all geared up and ready to tackle a long, long night at the church.  Madison was up past midnight again - a rare thing, but she was there because Mommy and Daddy had to stay to help with all the costuming and props and so forth. 

Of course, there was also piano this afternoon - this afternoon we were racing from here to there to there and back here again.  Next week is spring break, and a well-deserved time out for all of us.  But right now, we just have to keep moving forward, sewing, gathering, coordinating, writing, and so forth.

Madison had a great night, as always making new friends and running around with old friends up and down the hallways.  You think to yourself she's going to the church and there's not much to do, but then that's so not true.  There are playgrounds, indoor and out.  There are long hallways and lots of places for hide-and-seek.  And as of right now, there's an impressive set upstairs in the sanctuary.  We'll post pictures of that later.  Tonight, there was a lot of action in the choir room, as Madison and her friends were doing a bit of choreography - and a bit of singing as well.  She's sort of just figuring it all out, happy to be there.  And she is.  Earlier, she was quite hesitant about performing in front of all those people.  But being with friends who are all going out there, she feels more comfortable.

Anyway, it's a busy day and we're all quite tired.  Easter is coming soon, and we'll be done with the production and egg hunts and baskets.  Then we'll have time to stop and relax.  But not quite yet!
