this guy is dangerous in a grocery store

when mom finally lets you get the strawberry banana juice that you wanted so badly that you have to hold it tight the whole way home from the grocery store.

opening night

"cabaret" opens tonight at the university where we work and to say this show has been a labor of love would be an understatement.  it's more like this show was cursed and we barely made it to opening night by the skin of our teeth.  i hope everyone comes to see it and enjoys it.

love, laurie

preschool snapshots

a few recent preschool snapshots of mr. noah dominating the obstacle course, doing lots of arts-and-crafts, dressing up like an astronaut, making a bird nest, and being a happy camper.

a tent for everyone

noah's tent remains a popular destination for everyone in our house.  i want to hang out in there now!

love, laurie

tent fun

noah absolutely loves his play tent!  he really likes taking the entire contents of his playroom and loading it in there too!

love, laurie

rapunzel, rapunzel, let down your hair!

even though we're busy working on cabaret right now, i'm working ahead on rapunzel too.  one of my bigger projects has been rapunzel's wig because the script calls for the wig to be three different length at different times in the show.  it has been a project and noah has been there to model and help!  can't wait to share the finished product when it's all done.

love, laurie

preschool snapshots

a few photos recently from preschool of mr. noah doing some minor construction, running through the obstacle course, doing a science project, and enjoying a pizza party for national pizza day!

fosse and flowers

my theatre students asked me to do a little fosse dance workshop with them and of course i said yes.  they designed this poster, which made me laugh, and hug them all over the place.

we struck a pose for a photo at the end and they lifted me up which also made me laugh.  

they gave me this sweet little flower bouquet as a thank you too.  they are really the best!

love, laurie

baking for a good cause!

on friday, the university's student theatre club held a valentine's themed bake sale to raise money for their club.  noah pitched in by helping to bake blondies and mini banana muffins on thursday night after school.  he was happy to help his "big show" friends. 

i snapped some pictures of chef noah to share with the kids in the club and they loved them!  in order to get some business, they shared a photo of noah on the club's instagram stories . . . 

too cute!  

noah's baked goods were a huge hit and he got a lot of complements! the bake sale was a great success.

love, laurie

noah's valentine's day celebration

noah had a fun time celebrating valentine's day at school on friday.  he took in valentine cards and stickers for his friends and got to pass them out to everyone by putting them in his classmates' bags.  he made mommy and daddy a sweet card too with the help of his favorite teacher.  when he came home after school he had a fun time sorting through all of his valentine's treats from his classmates!

love, laurie
