Practicing

Anything but a Backpack Day was pretty fun for the seniors at East Forsyth High School, who brought all kinds of crazy items to lug around their books and school supplies.  Maddie brought a baby stroller, along with her friend, Buc-ee.  Other students brought around some oddball items.  There was one student who brought an actual kayak.  I think the favorite this year was a working butter churner.  It was super fun in any event.

Meanwhile, Mom and I are busy with the Easter production.  At one point I was guarding a door though - a sudden moment where I was letting someone important practice their saxophone, as this individual will be playing for the President of the United States at the White House tomorrow.  No big deal, right?  

Anyway, practice was going well tonight.  Just the usual Tech Week issues with props, make-up, blood - it's everywhere.  Actors, costumes, lighting, music cues... all kinds of stuff going on.  It's just part of the long week, but we got home late and certainly tired.  We read tonight though, reading for Maddie.  And we said our prayers together.  But sleep came easy and fast today, because we were pretty worn down.
