Back-To-School Shopping and Other Stuff ;-)

Howdy, fellow bloggers! It's Cali here. Today I went back-to-school shopping with Sunny and we got a bunch of stuff for Frosted Meadows. I like back-to-school shopping because I love looking for backpacks and lunchboxes and supplies- it's really fun! So far I've gotten a pink and white backpack, a Coca-Cola brand lunch box, a calculator, a pink Trapper-Keeper, a notebook and a new watch. I laid out all my new stuff on the floor of Sunny's bedroom (as well as my first day of school outfit but that will remain a secret!) and took a pic of it. I just love my lunch box and it was only a dollar from Target. Sunny said that that was a steal! 

Also, I would like to announce the winner of my club name poll. The winner is....... the Drama Queens!!! Thanks to all of you who have voted and/or suggested names for the poll. They were all great ideas ;-) At our club meeting on Sunday afternoon we watched the Sound of Music and had popcorn. I couldn't get "16 Going On 17" out of my head the rest of the day! It was such a good movie/musical!

With school approaching Sunny has been getting more nervous than ever. She likes school but she has so much homework it can be overwhelming. I am going in to 6th Grade so I hope I have less homework than her. I'm not exactly the studious type... Anyways, I am working on a 6th Grade math booklet FMSG gave all the 5th Graders to prepare them for junior high over the summer. It's pretty much review but it still seems more hard than the stuff in 5th Grade. ;-(

Well, that's pretty much it. Later today I'm going shoe shopping (I need a new pair of sneakers) and then I have a Jazz Club practice. Bye!!! :-D

Tomorrow, Tomorrow (aka Annie!!!)

Today was the big summer drama department's Annie The Musical afternoon performance. My two friends, Jane Moore and Noelle Greene were in it and they are also in the 7 o'clock dinner performance at the local church. I took tons of pictures because they had pretty big parts. Jane was Annie (she even has red hair!) and Noelle was Miss Hannigan (who is nothing like Noelle at ALL!). Kit Kittredge, a girl I sort of know played Molly, this orphan. Julie Albright (another one of my good friends) was funny Lilly St. Regis. Those were the main parts pretty much. Sterling, Kit's friend, was Daddy Warbucks but that's no surprise because he was the only boy in the entire drama department this summer. 

The show was really good. The drama department hired "ushers" to serve guests popcorn and Coca-Cola during intermission. Believe it or not, most of the kids in the show were really good singers! Jane sang "Tomorrow" like a true professional and Noelle sang her solo in a perfect Miss Hannigan voice. It wasn't a surprise everyone gave the show a standing ovation!

When the show was over the leads/big roles went on stage for the bows. I clapped the loudest for Noelle and Jane...shhh!

 

After everyone was off stage, visiting with friends and family I gave Noelle and Jane each a rose for being such fabulous actresses! Even Jane who is NEVER embarrassed began blushing! It was a great show. Maybe I'll audition for the fall show in October...
