New van (Wed. 22 Mar. 06)

Today, when all of us kids were home, we played Monopoly.  None of us had seen Mom, Dad, or Crystal since we'd gotten home and we all wondered where we were.  After about 2 hours we figured it out.  Yesterday, Mom and Dad had spoken seriously about going to test drive cars without a huge arguement happening.  It was just after we'd made this connection that Mom and Dad got home and sure enough they drove home in a new van.  It's used but was a rental car in Nevada.  It's a 2005 Safari van and it's silver/bonzish.  It's so cool.  It has A/C, CD player, and new car smell! We first just sat in it to check things out and then Mom took us on a little test drive.  We eventually ended up at the church and then Mom let me drive her home.  It was strange but of course fun.

The King & I update (Tue. 28 Mar.)

Today when I got home from school there was a message from the choreographer Jessica saying that Janessa could be in The King and I! Yay! Now she's going to see how addictive theatre is and actually have the guts to try out for shows.  Happiness!

She came with me to rehersal in the evening and she's Eliza, the lead part of the dance.  Jessica seems to think the lead parts suck.  It's super fun having her in the show though.
