Annie Jr.

As I mentioned before, Kayla went to a theatre camp in July where she got to play the role of Annie in Annie Jr.  It was her first time doing a musical like this and it was so fun for her.  The whole group of girls did an amazing job, especially when you consider that they put the show together in two weeks.  I thought Kayla was fabulous!  I cried during the show and I don't cry much!  Unfortunately, I completely dropped the ball at taking pictures.  Luckily, some other parents sent me some photos.

Update, 9/16/12:
More photos just came in from Kayla's awesome director, Miss Jen. Isn't she beautiful?  It was hard to choose which photos to post from all the great pictures she took.  I tried to limit myself!  Thank you to Miss Jen and her awesome team--Josh, Val, and Angelica!

Caramel Popcorn & Composition Meet

The children were nestled all snug in their beds when Jason decided to try out the new microwave caramel popcorn he had bought.  After he polished it off (with some help from me), Kayla came down and handed him a paper and went back to her room.  At the top of the paper she wrote, "I hope this is a good descriptive paragraph.  Please grade it." 

Caramel Popcorn
by Kayla LaFroth

The smell of caramel popcorn tantalized me as I sat miserably in my hot pink chair in my cheerful room.  The idea of sneaking downstairs and stealing a couple handfuls of the caramel coated popcorn sounded very appealing.  I imagined crunching as I munched on the delicious, sticky, little caramel puffs, the caramel exploding flavor into my mouth as I chewed the popcorn.  Instead, I sat, taunted about those little puffs iced with caramel.

Jason delivered a bowl of popcorn to her room with an "A" taped on it.

Photo Shoot by Joyce

Our friend, Joyce, is venturing into photography and asked if she could practice her skills on Kayla.   YES!!!!  I love this question since I am not a photographer at all.  She did a fabulous job; I love how the pictures turned out.  This is Joyce's website: http://joycemessickphotography.blogspot.com/.  I hope she wants to "practice" on us again! :)
