Arrrrr matey

As I'm sure many of you have heard us talk about Kaedo's french teacher and how every year he puts on a play that literally takes up half the school year in rehearsal, set design and performance.  It is really unfortunate as I don't think Kaeden has learned all that much in those classes except how to paint a tree on a piece of plywood.  At any rate, after months of practice and preparation the class finally performed their masterpiece on Tuesday.  There was supposed to be a daytime and evening performance which would have allowed me to attend as well, but to our dismay they couldn't coordinate an evening routine and as such only Shannon was able to attend.  Now you may be wondering, why in the hell is Craig posting about a play he didn't even see and how reliable is third hand information.  Well I assure you I am wondering the same thing.  It would appear that when one sits down at the computer during the assigned blog writing time they become the author in charge of posting something to entertain the masses.

From what I understand and from the video taken, Kaeden did a great job.  Surprisingly he was looking forward to it, to the point where he was gathering as much pirate stuff as he could for his costume.  Needless to say he was the best looking one there, and the best dressed pirate as well :)  In addition to the pirate performance he also had the opportunity to perform his Wal.mart rap that him and two of his friends wrote for a different class.  His teacher told Shannon that in the 10 years he has been doing this he has never allowed any students to perform their own song, but it was so good he had to include it.  Kaedo rocked the performance and while I'd love to post it, there are too many kids in the frame and Shannon won't allow it.  If you are interested I could upload to Vim.eo and send you a password in an email.  Barring that the following pictures will have to suffice.

She's repeating herself, Craig!

You really did an awesome job though, but look at the gorgeous material you had to work with. Johnnie Depp, you're kicked to the curb. So glad that everything turned out well Kaedo. Studying for a play has got to be more fun than calculus. We would love to see a video, Craig but we can see it on Kaedo's computer when he arrives. What ever is easier for you. Not too much longer now before we see you boys. Yay!

Beautiful day today and it's supposed to be like this for the rest of the week and weekend. It's definitely time.

Love to all

Good job Craig - Kaeden you look GREAT! Sounds like everything went very well for you.

Hope everyone is having a great day. Sun's shining, blue sky, bit windy and 20 - who could ask for more. Our weekend doesn't sound quite as nice as yours Irene.

BIG HUGS TO ALL!
