Farewell to Disneyland

The Best of Disney show is now officially over and I finally took some pictures before the very last performance (which unfortunately wasn't our best performance). It's always so sad for me when a show ends. Some of the people you may bump into again in another show, but some of the people you may never see again. Everyone gets so close to each other during a show because you spend so much time together; it's just hard to imagine you might not see each other again. Fortunately, alot of my Disney pals are in Pirates of Penzance as well, but it won't ever feel like Disney. Each cast and each show is so different. I have to say though, that even though it's hard to say goodbye to friends, I'd still do it all over again even if the friendship is only for a short while.

Our lovely sequin costumes for a Friend Like Me! Can you spot the genie?

This is a few of us girls right after the Under the Sea dance. We couldn't get any of the guys because they had a quick costume change for I'll Make a Man Out of You.





This lovely plaid ensemble is for Supercal.... which was super fast! I have no idea what happened to the other three dancers?

A Pirate's Life For Me!

I finally decided to go ahead and audition for Pirates of Penzance. I was cast as one of the maidens, which isn't too bad of a part after all. I was however surprised that Pirates is actually an Operetta, not a Musical. You should see the gigantic folder of music I have to learn in a matter of weeks. It's like 200 pages long with only a total of maybe 3 pages of actual dialogue. Not to mention that we were short on Altos so I volunteered to switch from my comfortable Soprano part. So if I'm not killed by one of the pirates, the music will surely do me in. Arrrrrrrr!

Ella's First Haircut

As adorable as Ella is, she was still starting to look like a hillbilly with her former mullet hairdo, thus the decision to go get her hair cut for the first time. Last week we went down to Fantastic Sams (because I'm not paying more than $10 for a kids haircut) and I just sat Ella on my lap while the girl cut her hair. Ella was a little nervous, but actually sat pretty still. She did however freak out when they tried to blow dry it, so simple hair styles it is. Fortunately, her hair is still really fine, so I can just wet it down and flip it out with a baby brush. We'll probably let it grow out again so we can have those cute pigtails, but the bob looks very cute on her!
