Above is Frack, the witch's hobgoblin, and below is Owl who helped to find the Sandman and protect Hansel and Gretel. The story was a little different than the traditional tale.
The costume and make-up weren't what I envisioned, but it worked. I think the producer was going more for a fairy tale type look. I would have gone more for the robe and nightcap, sort of like Father Time.
#1 was interested in joining a 4-H Troupe, but when I looked it up this evening, he changed his mind. It is a musical dance group. He really doesn't have any skills to offer that sort of thing. He does enjoy drama though. -------------
I had to be a guy for the evening. Hubby is out of town and the boys asked what they were doing for Guys' Night Out. I took them to Andy's for a cheesesteak, to the library, and then shopping for a birthday present for a friend. Now they are back watching Easter specials with Charlie Brown.
We had a 4-H meeting here at the house this afternoon. We met here since I didn't know what the place would be like with workers and didn't want to leave in the middle of something. #1 gave a puppet show with some of his friends. He is taking a project record on puppets. His puppet show was Charlie Brown skits. #2 gave a short presentation on his project for the 100th birthday of 4-H. He has written a bird book to go along with the curriculum that 4-H already offers. He especially likes birds.
Hubby is having a good time in WV at the lectureship. They had a blizzard today and couldn't see out of the parking lot. It was in the 50's here today, but the wind was bitter. I can't turn on the heat since we have a big hole in the ceiling and no window in the upstairs. This weather shouldn't last too long, but I may put the space heater in the bedroom and all of us sleep together tonight.
#2 planted azaleas on Sunday as part of his 4-H project. We had wanted to plant some tomatoes and other things, but they weren't out at the nursery we went to. The owner told us it is to be cold Wednesday and he wouldn't put them out yet. I heard on the radio this evening that it is to be 32 tonight. I'm glad we waited. The azaleas do look pretty though!----------------
Monday evening was First Monday, our prayer group night. The theme was "Thanksgiving." We could only thank God, asking for nothing. I had everyone write for half an hour of things they were thankful for and pray about them as they wrote. There were 6 categories for thanks giving, and we did about 5 minutes for each category. All of you reading this should try it. There are so many things to be thankful for, that we often forget or never think of, that your whole attitude will change after this exercise. God is so very generous!
One thanksgiving is Polly's health. She will have to undergo 6 weeks of localized radiation on her leg, but should fare well for it all. It will be daily radiation, so she will become tired easily, and feel like she has a bad sunburn on her leg, but the other alternatives are much worse. Praise God that it is this simple and that she is well!
