The Hot New Show Off Broadway

It's this awesome version of the old classic "Cinderella", but with a modern twist!

In the second scene, Prince Charming goes rogue and starts karate chopping Cinderella ("peschaw, peschaw, peschaw!!!"), while the producer/director/fairy godmother hisses horrified remonstrations from the wings. Cinderella screams for help for about fifteen seconds and then body-slams the Prince into the mattress formerly representing the ballroom floor. A general free-for-all ensues ending with the producer/director/fairy godmother stomping off the stage pronouncing "I GIVE UP!" and Prince Charming crying for Daddy, while Cinderella prevails due to sheer body weight advantage.


Best reproduction EVER!


Congrats to Sofi on her producing/directing/fairy godmother debut :)

Photo Dump: Fun with Cousins

Uh-oh...Run! They've got the Cousin Crazies!!!

And now, the pictures you've all been waiting for!

But in short installments, 'cause I have the power to make you wait...

*evil grin*

Getting ready for the big day:

By being cute...

And snuggly.

With yards of Tulle...

And oodles of balloons.

Despite running out of flowers...

And resorting to a little roadsidia.

Our family reunion weekend consisted of, as I put it to a friend recently, going from one high-intensity conversation over here to another one over there and then back again. With intervals for eating, laughter and game-playing. And did I mention eating? Thanksgiving Dinner for 24 (sorry you're not feeling well, Laura :(


Unfortunately, I wasn't real diligent with my camera duties, so your window on our world is rather limited.
Laura, Susi, Ben and Violet, we missed you!!

Cousins

Cade and Judah; can anyone see the resemblance? :)









(Hint: in those last two pics, just cover their eyes with one finger and then compare...)

Family Reunion

I tell you what, summer is crazy around these parts. We had two family reunions in one week. No joke. Here's pics from the first one. The C. family reunion somehow got left out of the picture thing. I haven't got a single one! Despite the record-breaking (in my life, anyway) hailstorm that ended it. So, no pics, but cool story. These are pics from the M. reunion at the KOA campground near us. Beautiful place, I highly recommend it.

Enjoying Gramma/Aunt/Mom/Sandy's coconut brownies:

Judah gets his first taste of watermelon...

And decides that he likes it!

Girl's going walkabout:

Gramma loves her little boy:

More cousins!

Beach-ing cousins

Jeremiah and Ben were jointly paranoic about taking the cameras out to the beach itself, so all our "beach" pictures are actually of the house where we stayed. But the kids are still cute!

Back porch breakfasts:

Inside the house breakfasts:

Swingin':

Oh yeah, did we mention Sam has a girlfriend now? Meet Mina. (P.S. we love her!)

Who knew a box could be so much fun:

Come on guuuyyys... we have to...

...do a group shot before we leave!
