Much Ado About Amanda

It's hard for us to handle that Amanda is almost done with the 6th grade! But she is, and the fun is revving up as we head toward the end of school! Amanda's class along with one other class put on the Shakespeare play 'Much Ado about Nothing' last Thursday night.

Here she is with Brinley in their Jester costumes. Brinley had a mishap with the make-up. It was purple, but after putting it on, she felt it burning her skin. She quickly got it off, but was dyed pink for a couple of days! Luckily, Amanda had only used that make-up for some swirlies on her face and it came right off!

They have been working on the play since before Christmas. They had try-outs and Amanda ended up as a Narrator. They had to memorize all their lines. Can I tell you? They all did such a Great Job! The only complaint was that the gym is a horrible place to try and hear the kids. They, of course, don't have great mics and so we missed a lot of dialogue. But, you could hear that they kids knew their lines and delivered them really well!

I couldn't get a good shot of Amanda during her speaking parts, but she was amazing! We are so proud of you, Amanda!

Our cute grandparents made the drive to Kaysville to support Amanda! We then came back to our house for some banana splits to celebrate!

We love you!

Amanda is giving her curtain call along with her Narrator co-horts! Bravo!
