Just today, we’ve been able to return to a Sunday morning service (instead of evening). This is what we do on lazy Sunday afternoons that are too cold to do landscaping projects:
Nap.
(Kyla’s not very good at it.)
This is a well-rested Wesley being Wesley.
And to put in a plug:
Molbaks has their free children’s play on Saturdays and Sundays through October at 11am, 2pm and 4m. It’s a 45 minutes version of Rapunzel with three actors and it’s fun for kids and adults.
I will say that my kids are just slightly media sheltered…by a neurotic, controlling, anti-commercialization, anti-Disney, killjoy mother. Me. When I let them watch a Leapfrog (think Sesame Street genre) video about numbers, they came running, screaming AND crying to me when a cartoon pirate dog appeared. And we switched the video back to Diego.
I tell you all that so that you don’t take seriously the fact that my girls went from sitting on the floor near the stage with the other kids to quickly coming back to find us when the witch appeared. Piper cuddled close to Daddy the rest of the show and Kyla alternated between cowering behind my chair, sitting in laps, covering her ears, hiding behind a wall, and then creeping forward again to the stage when she felt a little braver and running back again when she did not. It was a full house and no other kids left their seats or displayed more emotion that clapping and laughing.
And one more note…the witch was played by a Todd. Probably the best way to get an ugly witch is to have a man play her. It was hilarious.
