Allison and I had marriage prep today and so the kids were with a sitter for the day. When we came home we came home to the image above. Eva used the makeup that she had gotten from a party to decorate her face. She told us that she was the ice queen. I’m not sure what ice queen has a giant blue Snidely Whiplash type mustache but apparently that is what Eva saw as the type of thing she was going to put on her face. Not to be outdone, her brother covered his face in blue as well.
At least Eva didn’t go out in public looking like that. Oh wait, she did. My mom took her to another play, 101 Dalmations at the Triboro Youth Theater. So, I guess if people that we know saw Eva with this makeup then it is okay to show the world the imagination of our kids.
This morning Eva had her play, The Bear Went Over The Mountain. She had the role of The Bear. Back when she learned that she was going to be the bear she was upset because she did not want to be the “grumpy” bear. She wanted to be one of the more happy characters. She was upset but when we read through the script she liked the bear and was excited to have so many lines (9). I was proud as any poppa bear could be watching Eva up there nailing every one of her lines like a pro. She was even able to use a wireless microphone, something that she wanted to be a surprise for Allison and me. She went so far as to pretend that everything in front of her was a microphone when she delivered her lines around the house.
The production was really nice and we had so much fun watching Eva perform. She really loves being part of the plays and I see her being part of the Triboro Youth Theater for many more performances. We’ll just make sure to get our tickets very early on because this one sold out so quickly. I ended up sitting by myself. Allison was somewhere else and the rest of the family was in another place, also.
